khun_lung Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Welcome to TF, Muggis! Yes, ladies can study muay Thai here and in fact one of the TF members is a boxer, though I can't remember which one! Sorry! If you're serious I'm sure you can get some help about that. Enjoy TF!

Loburt Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 There are muay thai camps which will take women, but not all of them do, particularly the smaller ones. The reasons is that women are not allowed to use the same ring as a man. The Thais believe the spirits associated with muay thai would be angered by allowing a woman to enter the same ring. The gym has to be large enough that they will have a separate ring for women. Fairtex might. There are self defense courses in Bangkok for women, if that's what you're really after.

khun_lung Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 I used the member search feature and was able to find the girl who is a Thai boxer and here is the link: http://www.thailandfriends.com/barbiebox You might want to send her a private message with your questions. There is even a website dedicated to lady boxers, however, it is in Thai. You can find it here: http://www.muayying.com/ Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breakofdawning Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 It budget is not an issue for u, u might wanna check out fairtex muay thai camp. I've been to the place a couple of times (for work not training) and the place is very nice and there r also some other female who also fascinated in muay thai there. Or u can check out the Pattaya branch where they have a ladyboy instructor, but I'm not certain whether (s)he gives lessons to adults or not. www.fairtexbkk.com www.fairtex.com Welcome to TF.
