  1. MTG: Can You Learn Muay Thai From Youtube? Nice shout out to Sylvie's youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/user/MasterKMuayThai
  2. Fightland: JOANNA CHAMPION'S STRIKING CLINIC We were discussing Joanna's loss to Duannapa Mor. Rattana Bundit at World Muay Thai Angels in another thread and how styles, rules and judging make fights.
  3. Really cool to compare this to Joanna's MMA fights. This reddit link has most of her professional MMA fights. One thing I noticed is that Joanna seems to get stuck against the cage in the clinch. I know Sylvie has talked about western fighters, especially women having a weaker clinch game due to lack of instruction/opportunity to practice. ETA: I get used to the Thai refs breaking up the clinch after watching all Sylvie's fights. Then I watch MMA and wonder why the ref isn't breaking it up and resetting the fighters when nothing is happening against the cage or on the ground. Of course I don't really know the rules of MMA. Reddit link to Jedrzejczyk vs Penne.
  4. Interesting article from Muay Thai Guy, The Cult of Personality: What Muay Thai Needs to Learn from Ronda Rousey
  5. Lion Fight 23: TIFFANY VAN SOEST vs. MARTYNA KROL via Martyna's facebook page. Super excited for this fight as I follow both fighters on social media. They have very different styles so it should be an interesting match up.
  6. MTG 084: Building A Muay Thai Gym in Issan, Thailand with Frances and Boom Wattahanaya GoFundMe for building the gym.
  7. Found this video and article via Muay Thai on The Brain's facebook page. "Boxing journeymen: sport's biggest losers or unappreciated artists?" Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "professional" fighter and what records really mean.
  8. No just the clip on Indigogo. It looks like an interesting story though, especially that they are fighting out of an all female gym. Unfortunately the fund raising doesn't seem to have gained much momentum so I'm not sure how widely they will be able to distribute it.
  9. I was surprised by the outcome. I was expecting Bernise to win it in the clinch the way Caley Reese did when she fought Tiffany. Bernise looked much stronger in her previous fight against Tanya Merrett. I like Tiffany as a fighter, she has a really interesting style. It was great that she was able to improve her fight game so that she could control and score in the clinch.
  10. A video interview by the The Asbury Park Press about head coach of the Girl Fight gym, Prairie Rugilo.
  11. Sports Illustrated article, Julie Kedzie: This is what it feels like to cut weight for an MMA fight. This sounds horrible, like cutting weight is one of the hardest parts of fighting professionally.
  12. Black Bird Fly Blog Found a new muay thai blog to follow. The latest post is a review of of Santai Muay Thai Gym
  13. Article from Breaking Muscle, WHY YOUR SI JOINT IS SUCH A PAIN (AND 4 EXERCISES TO FIX IT)
  14. Rolling Stone article. At the end of the embedded vid she talks about how important remaining undefeated is to her.
