Over the years Muay Thai has become more advertised and more accessible to women internationally. Some practice is to get fit , to stay healthy or to have a break from their routine. But some of them have found in Muay Thai their purpose and want to fight for a dream often misjudged by society. Those women coming for all part of the world usually leave behind their old job or studies , families or relatives to come build a carrier in the Muay Thai land : Thailand.

It has been really challenging for women to compete in a sport that is mainly seen as man – sport. Back in the time women were not even allowed to touch the ring .Women were not taking seriously and often seen as a source of distraction in top level gym.They were not see as tough enough and would get the same training and fighting opportunities as men. Many came to live this dream but only a few stays.

This mainly happens because the lack of fighting opportunities and the unequal purses. Today things have changed a little and are getting better slowly.

Female fighters are training equal sometimes harder than man to prove that their have their worth in the Muay Thai industry. They are slowly getting more recognition and a growing interest professionally.

Top level gyms are starting to trust and give sponsor to more female fighters including them in their professional teams so they can be trained by the best Muay Thai trainers.

Also , some of the most famous fighting shows featured on Thai television changed for not having a single female fight on their show to having one per event sometimes two. So we can consider.

It as a huge step even if there is still a lot to conquer. Female fighters have to keep fighting for themselves , for the ones who did before and for the ones who are willing to do so. Even if they are fighting each other , they are surely fighting together to get the world see that they are Muay Thai. newshttps://www.revolutionphuketgym.com/news/muay-thai-for-women/
