FEMALE FIGHT ON SUPER MUAY THAI PROMOTION


Recommended Posts

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.

    • 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.

    • 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
