I just wanted to mention that I regularly watch the Workpoint official channel on Youtube so I can view the Super Muay Thai series.For those that don't know a new show is posted on the channel every week and is usually 1 1/2 - 2 hours long of Muay Thai fights.When i tuned in to watch this morning I was pleasantly surprised to see a female fight which I have never seen on Super Muay Thai or Max Muay Thai.

It was a fight in the 47 Kilogram division and featured a fighter from Thailand vs a fighter from Italy.Would love to know if they plan to feature more female fighters?

Hopefully this fight will open doors for more female fighters to be featured on the show and others like Max and The Champion.

Sylvie if you see this please comment as I'm sure you know more about this and would also like to know if you have been approached to be on the show as I would love to see you fight on it?

Hopefully sylvie will jump on, but I can say that she doesn't know much about the series. MAX though is very firmly against female fighters. Currently though, PPTV is showing female fights every week it seems, though they are only 3 rounds. So while MAX ignores women, maybe others are seeing the profit?

The fight that you are talking about featured Duangdaonoi who Sylvie has fought (and beaten), she was pretty awesome in that fight vs the Italian - such teeps. Video was posted in the Female Fight thread here.

Thanks for responding so quickly! I thought that Sylvie may have fought her as she has had a lot of fights ,but wasn't sure.I too hope others will see the value in these fights.........the audience did!!

Duangdaonoi's teeps had a crazy amount of power and speed.Who needs a push kick when you have that much power in the front leg throwing teeps.

This was her fight against Duangdaonoi, she's a nice little fighter, and even held the 105 lb WPMF title for a bit.

Unfortunately, this promotion doesn't feature women regularly and this was a "special event" for HM the Queen's Birthday. That day is "mother's day" in Thailand and is the single biggest day for female nakmuay throughout the year. Duangdaonoi looks amazing in this fight.

Without pressure on these big promotions to feature women, it simply won't happen. That pressure is going to have to come from sponsors or viewers demonstrating interest in women's bouts and I really have no idea how that happens here in Thailand. They tend to have women's shows apart from the major men's shows, not really integrated. But PPTV features at least one female bout every week, which is promising as that's on TV.

      Muay Thai career or college

      By Wewarm · Posted

      I am soon to be 17 and I’ve been training Muay Thai for nearly 3 years now. I also happen to be doing quite well in school and plan to go to uni. However, that all changed when I went to Thailand last summer to train for a few weeks and fight. One of the trainers, with whom I have developed a close connection, told me not to go back home and stay in Thailand in order build a career. “You stay, become superstar” to quote him, as he pointed at the portraits of their best fighters hung on the gym’s wall. After realizing he wasn’t joking, I told him I couldn’t stay and had to finish my last year of high school (which is what I am currently doing) but promised him I’d come back the following year once I was done with school. Ever since, both these words and my love for Muay Thai resonate in me, and I can’t get the idea of becoming a professional fighter out of my head. On one hand, I’m afraid I’m being lied to, since me committing to being a fighter obviously means he gets more pay to be my coach. But on the other hand, it is quite a reputable and trustworthy gym, and this trainer in particular is an incredible coach and pad holders since he is currently training multiple rws fighters including one who currently holds an rws belt. And for a little more context, I don’t think this invitation to become a pro came out of nowhere, because during those few weeks I trained extremely hard and stayed consistent, which I guess is what impressed him and motivated him to say those words. Additionally, I was already thinking about the possibility of going pro before the trip because of my love for Muay Thai and because a female boxing champion who has close ties to my local gym told me I had potential and a fighter’s mindset. Therefore, I have to pick between two great opportunities, one being college and a stable future, and the other being a Muay Thai career supported by a great gym and coach. So far, I plan to do a gap year to give myself more time to make a decision and to begin my training in order to give myself an idea of how hard life as a pro is. This is a big decision which I definitely need help with, so some advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Training Twice a Day

      By SJC74 · Posted

      When I've come out to Thailand to train (and holiday!), I've always trained just once a week for the first one. It takes a while for the body to adjust, especially with the heat and/ or humidity, and gives me a chance to recover and explore. After that, it depends on how I feel/ what my goals are. Sometimes I've switched to twice a day, other times I haven't. If you're coming out to fight, you might want to. If it's just to train, improve and enjoy your stay, sometimes twice a day is a slog. Your decision... Chok dee.
