Muay Thai Angels Season 2 - Applications now Open!


Recommended Posts

For those who aren't familiar with Muay Thai Angels, it's an all-female promotion in Thailand that put on some big shows in 2014 and 2014, including a 57kg tournament with a million baht and a Toyota given to the winner, Chomannee Sor Tehiran. Sylvie wrote about it here and here.

I've been working with the organisers, and we're now planning to have a 'season 2' in Nov through Jan this year. It's going to be a tournament at 55-57kg. Applications are now open for those who are interested in taking part. This includes those who aren't currently in Thailand. 

If you're up for it, you can download the application form here and either send it to muaythaiangels@gmail.com or contact me directly to put it forward.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask here or message me!

I can't say for sure because it's not been confirmed (all depends on funding), but they are hoping to do the same as they did in the last show, with the million baht + car for the winner. Tiffany Van Soest is definitely worth looking into, although I'd be surprised if she wasn't already tied into something.

Emma, what exactly are you doing to help out the organizers? I'd love to hear what's going on behind the scenes of the production.

Everything's still a bit vague and there's been talk of lots of different things, but for now, I'm recruiting the fighters for the show and helping them translate all the paperwork. We're currently working on a men's tournament called Muay Thai League. That just got started this week, so when all the madness with that passes, we can get working on Angels a bit more. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated when I can!

Hey Emma, do you and Sylvie plan to do more 2ITK episodes?

 

Yes! Sorry that it's been quiet on that front for a little while..We've just had some problems getting new episodes done recently. We've sat down to record a new episode several times and each time, our plans have been thwarted by some kind of shitty internet problem. Working on getting a new one out ASAP! Anything you'd like us to cover in the next one?

Personally I really like when you and Sylvie discuss the Thai female fight scene. I can keep track of the big names like Chomanee and Loma, but there is a ton of world class talent over there that completely flies under the Anglophone radar. Good luck with the shitty internet problems in the future  :laugh:

    • Hi Warren  It was very quiet when I was there. A few local guys and 2-4 foreigners but that can change and I'm sure this gym has got more popular. You can schedule privates for whenever you want. The attention to detail here is unbelievable and I highly recommend you train at this gym. In my experience, everyone was really good training partners and I learnt loads everyday.  
    • To all the MuayThai enthusiasts who have travelled to Thailand and trained in Muay thai- I would urge you to pls fill this form to share your interests and journey insights. This will help us explore possible ways to improve muay thai gym/training program search experience for the community https://forms.gle/39pBz4wHQ2CXPWNS8 Feel free to DM me if there is any feedback or query.
    • You can look through my various articles which sometimes focuses on this: https://8limbsus.com/muay-thai-forum/forum/23-kevins-corner-muay-thai-philosophy-ethics/ especially the article on Muay Thai as a Rite. The general thought is that Thailand's traditional Muay Thai offers the world an important understanding of self-control in an era which is increasingly oriented towards abject violence for entertainment. There are also arguments which connect Muay Thai to environmental concerns.

    • Hi, this might be out of the normal topic, but I thought you all might be interested in a book-- Children of the Neon Bamboo-- that has a really cool Martial Arts instructor character who set up an early Muy Thai gym south of Miami in the 1980s. He's a really cool character who drives the plot, and there historically accurate allusions to 1980s martial arts culture. However, the main thrust is more about nostalgia and friendships.    Can we do links? Childrenoftheneonbamboo.com Children of the Neon Bamboo: B.

    • Davince Resolve is a great place to start. 
    • I see that this thread is from three years ago, and I hope your journey with Muay Thai and mental health has evolved positively during this time. It's fascinating to revisit these discussions and reflect on how our understanding of such topics can grow. The connection between training and mental health is intricate, as you've pointed out. Finding the right balance between pushing yourself and self-care is a continuous learning process. If you've been exploring various avenues for managing mood-related issues over these years, you might want to revisit the topic of mental health resources. One such resource is The UK Medical Cannabis Card, which can provide insights into alternative treatments.
    • Phetjeeja fought Anissa Meksen for a ONE FC interim atomweight kickboxing title 12/22/2023. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu92S6-V5y0&ab_channel=ONEChampionship Fight starts at 45:08 Phetjeeja won on points. Not being able to clinch really handicapped her. I was afraid the ref was going to start deducting points for clinch fouls.   
    • Earlier this year I wrote a couple of sociology essays that dealt directly with Muay Thai, drawing on Sylvie's journalism and discussions on the podcast to do so. I thought I'd put them up here in case they were of any interest, rather than locking them away with the intention to perfectly rewrite them 'some day'. There's not really many novel insights of my own, rather it's more just pulling together existing literature with some of the von Duuglus-Ittu's work, which I think is criminally underutilised in academic discussions of MT. The first, 'Some meanings of muay' was written for an ideology/sosciology of knowledge paper, and is an overly long, somewhat grindy attempt to give a combined historical, institutional, and situated study of major cultural meanings of Muay Thai as a form of strength. The second paper, 'the fighter's heart' was written for a qualitative analysis course, and makes extensive use of interviews and podcast discussions to talk about some ways in which the gendered/sexed body is described/deployed within Muay Thai. There's plenty of issues with both, and they're not what I'd write today, and I'm learning to realise that's fine! some meanings of muay.docx The fighter's heart.docx
