February 1st will present the first all-female card at Lumpinee Stadium, it's GoSport (the promotion that introduced women to the ring there) and doesn't indicate whether all these fights are 5 rounds or if some are 3 rounds. It appears to all be Thai women and the Main Event is Sanaejan (the first female fight for the Lumpinee banner was Sanaejan vs Buakaw, but wasn't IN the stadium due to Covid restrictions, so this will be her first time actually in the Lumpinee ring) vs Somrasmee, who was "Rising Star of the Year" in Thailand's Northern region last year or the year before.
Did this happen?

I have the honor of training under a professional Muay Thai boxer here in the US. He is here from Thailand to coach and lead classes at my gym and he does an amazing job. He is an awesome coach but does not speak a word of English. Despite this, he communicates very well through body language, demonstration, and very minimal English. He has a hilariously goofy yet extremely disciplined personality which is common among Thai boxers.
Occasionally I will say things in Thai that I get from Google Translate, and despite it being broken, off-tone Thai language, his eyes still light up and and is happy to finally hear his home language in the states.
I am wondering, what are some ways to learn easy small talk with him, even if it’s just about training, so that he gets to hear and use his native language while he’s working here? What are some phrases are cordials that we normally exchange in the English language that I could say in Thai?For instance, things like “heys how’s it going?” Or “what’s up man” (hearing him yell WASSAP MAAAAN is actually very funny, I don’t think he knows what it really means) don’t really translate well. I have been saying “saba di mai?” Which is the equivalent of how are you and he always gets a kick of that, and says “very good Thai!” ( he’s too nice )
anyways I figure this is a good place to ask.
That’s great you have a Thai trainer.. I’ve recently found one too.. I have no idea what we talk about, but I definitely know when I’ve done something wrong hahahah

I think traditional Muay Thai is suffering everywhere, but I understand what you’re saying.
I’m from Australia and some fighters here have beautiful Muay but they have lived in Thailand for quite some time.
I think western mentality can be the issue, and watching too much crappy entertainment Muay Thai.. also not having gambling.but some “farang” are really inspiring too.
But it’s true, some Muay Thai events here in Australia can be difficult to watch, thank the gods for The internet

Karuhat is the ultimate technical fighter! A martial artist genius in his flow of Muay.
He is seamless and ferocious.It looks as though he can manipulate time and energy… a superhero
He also has a positive friendly energy and a glint in his eyes that makes me smile.
He is also very handsome
Karuhat is the king of Muay thai.
the best!-

Heads up!
Be careful with taking Maleria pills and your mental health..It can increase depression for a little while.
Just be mindful and know it will pass

We had to move house so my little gym
had to move too.
I think it’s a blessing in disguiseWe live in subtropics so during summer this will definitely have a Thai vibe with the humidity

Yeah in Thailand
Thailand is pretty big...
Maybe check out Phuket, Koi Sumi or Pattaya
Ive trained at a few in Phuket but really only as a tourist and I didn’t know what I know now.
It’s still fun to jump in the ocean afterwards

I’m female, about 5’8” and about 135 lbs. My legs are definitely on the slim side. I’ve had a pair of Fairtex shinguards for the last 18 months that are biting the dust. They have been fine but I’m wondering if there is a taller, slimmer brand that would work better? Top King maybe? I don’t want to order and return a bunch if I can avoid it.
Gday, I’m 5’7 I wear Medium Twins
They have lasted forever

This is so excellent Kevin, thank you. I’ll keep coming back to read this, something I’m very interested in. Esp how it all feeds into Muay Thai which is what attracted me in the first place.
