Hi. I have a question. I'm considering joining Sityodtong after I get back from a trip and things have settled down around the house. When you say "committed," I'm curious about what you mean. I know they're top-notch, which comes at a price ($$$, fitness, etc.), but I'm curious just how crazy it is for beginners.

As a reference point, I briefly trained in another state a couple of years ago. I'd come home covered in bruises and almost broke my nose twice. I didn't mind getting banged up, other than dropping my guard. *grumble*
