I want to know first off which martial art is better for me between mma and muay thai? I like grapple and and hitting people with elbows and knees but i also want a good martial art that i could learn quickly and if i ever had to use it I would be good in it. Another question is how is the conditioning for mma and muay thai because i played football and could take their conditioning i wanted know if i could do mma or muay thai condition? I also wanted to know if it is right for me right now because i have never done martial arts or fighting before and these are full contact sports and can cause injuries so i was wondering if i should hold off and just do regular martial arts? My last question is that could i train in both mma or muay thai and regular martial arts or should i do one at a time? I know these are a lot of questions and feel free to add things in or tell me things that i didn't ask because i want to start training because i'm 15 and i want to start mma or muay thai and regular martial arts.
Also the martial arts i was interested in are ninjutsu or chinese boxing(wushu kung fu) or other types of chinese martial arts.
 
Well the first thing you have to understand is that MMA is a mixture of pretty much all martial arts, so you could train in multiple martial arts and it would help you MMA. There are some specific martial arts that are the best for training MMA though and those are: judo, muay thai, boxing, wrestling, and juijitsu. I would suggest just training MMA in a MMA gym, where you would learn specific aspects of a lot of different martial arts and fighting styles. As for the conditioning and risk factor, thats something you have to decide for yourself. If you really want to do MMA you are going to have to condition hard, and your gonna get hurt, so you need to decide if its the right thing for you.
