Oh I agree. The same is true of anything (writing, music, a profession, martial arts etc...). Specifically, I was referring to the fact that starting Muay Thai training pre-puberty will give you a substantial advantage over anyone who starts later in life. For people who have been learning a particular skill earlier on, there are notable differences in both physiology and brain development after the onset of puberty compared to late-starters. Even if late-starters eventually accumulate the same number of years, training and experience, they will most likely get inferior results.
