So with the increasing far right movements and their violent thugs getting more confident, I figured it might be the time to get some self defence training going.

From a young age I have been doing judo and boxing though it has been some years since I got lessons. I occasionally spar or shadow box but I need to do more I feel.

My eye fell on Muay Thai but I have no experience in it. It seems like it is a respected self defence art by many but I wanted some opinions before I went.

Yeah the gym in my city thing is how I ended up on Muay Thai. Seems like a decent gym with a good mentality.

I managed to reach brown belt in judo before I stopped due to scheduling issues. So I'd say better than most people lol but in the judo world for someone my age rn it's definitely not uncommon.

If they compete in Thailand that's a really good sign.

Honestly you sound like you're doing everything right. If you have brown kyu grade in judo and can box and you join a good Muay Thai gym then you can handle yourself.
