Wastelander Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 For those who aren't familiar, Sylvie von Duuglas-Ittu (aka "Miss Gangster Knee") is an American Muay Thai fighter who moved to Thailand to live and train several years ago, with the goal of having 100 fights in Thailand. Yesterday, she completed her 200th fight--it was a kard cheuk fight, which is where the competitors fight with rope hand wraps instead of gloves, and you can only win by knockout (anything else is a draw). Before Sylvie, there had only been one other female kard cheuk fight, and she has now had three of them, I believe. I just thought some folks here might find it inspiring.https://www.facebook.com/sylviemuaythai/photos/a.134623809905091.17999.127492557284883/1801935283173927/?type=3&theater Kishimoto-Di | 2014-Present | Sensei: Ulf KarlssonShorin-Ryu/Shinkoten Karate | 2010-Present: Yondan, Renshi | Sensei: Richard Poage (RIP), Jeff Allred (RIP)Shuri-Ryu | 2006-2010: Sankyu | Sensei: Joey Johnston, Joe Walker (RIP)Judo | 2007-2010: Gokyu | Sensei: Joe Walker (RIP), Ramon Rivera (RIP), Adrian RiveraIllinois Practical Karate | International Neoclassical Karate Kobudo Society
mkdaggy Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 Awesome! Thanks for posting that. I checked out her YouTube page and watched a few of her fights. She is a warrior!
sensei8 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 Thanks for sharing her with us, Noah; I, too, was impressed with her. I think she'd fair quite well in a UFC or the like venues!! Before this, I'd not heard about her at all...again, thanks, Noah!! **Proof is on the floor!!!
