Xtreme Fury Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 i dont think you usually see girls in muay thai. so this is for anyone in here that takes kickboxing or muay thai: are there girls in your class and if there is how many? my friend(she's a girl) is planning to take it, but she wants to know. i might take it with her...
Thai_Kick Posted September 21, 2002 Posted September 21, 2002 In my Muay Thai class we only have a few females, about 4 training. The reason for lack of females in Muay Thai is they shy away from the full contact and aggressive style that is taught. Yet the females that do train are tough and have great potential of fighting in the ring. Sure the training is hard on the body BUT it prepares you to be EFFECTIVE in a fight or self-defense situation. So don't worry, believe in yourself even if you are the only female in class, I'm sure you'll teach a few guys a good lesson and don't forget HAVE FUN! http://www.womenkickboxing.com/images/nakazawa_yoshida_931115_%20copy%202.jpg Limits Are Not Accepted. They Are Elbowed, Kicked And Punched.
GoldDragon Posted September 22, 2002 Posted September 22, 2002 I believe that Muay Thai is for all Sex Genders Male or female. I mean, you see ZhangZiyi in "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" so why not female MuayThai Kick boxers? Kathy Long is a good example Just thought I would share my thoughts. Muay Thai for all ages, Sex Genders, Race, and color. **Gold Dragon*** Kung Fu Black Belt 1st DanGoldDragon Academy-------------------------Represenitive for Paltalk.com *-*-*-*-Mouser (Palhelp)*-*-*-*-*-
ZeRo Posted September 22, 2002 Posted September 22, 2002 i agree with gold mauy thai is for everyone. i just think girls would be less attracted to that kinda thing.
Xtreme Fury Posted September 22, 2002 Author Posted September 22, 2002 thanks for your replies. i told my friend that, but i dont think i will take muay thai, not that i don't like full contact or anything, the art itself doesn't seem right for me. and i agree xpoison freex. a lot of girls i know aren't interested in fighting or anything, they're interested in just fitness and maybe even sparring light contact. but still there are quite a few girls that want to go full out and beat up the boys or something. lol.
GoldDragon Posted September 22, 2002 Posted September 22, 2002 roflol- no problem thought u could use some of my words **Gold** Remember- it doenst matter what art you take or what belt you are- its who you are in how you use it Kung Fu Black Belt 1st DanGoldDragon Academy-------------------------Represenitive for Paltalk.com *-*-*-*-Mouser (Palhelp)*-*-*-*-*-
red Posted September 24, 2002 Posted September 24, 2002 Hello, I am a female and take Muay Thai classes 3 times a week and love it. It's tough and I am really sore and a bit bruised but I have learned so much. There are a few girls in the class.
ZeRo Posted September 24, 2002 Posted September 24, 2002 good for you red! i think its good that its not only men who get into mauy thai.
Synaesthesia Posted December 29, 2002 Posted December 29, 2002 Here in Calgary there is a Muai Thai gym run by mike miles. Apparently like 70% of his students are female.
Karateka_latino Posted December 30, 2002 Posted December 30, 2002 70% female muay thai students!!! I'd like to go there to train lol But surely I may be too distracted
