Emma is a 51 kg female fighter from the UK, living in Thailand for 5+ years. She also teaches English full time. She authors the undertheropes.com blog.
I’m a 46 kg fighter out of the United States, living in Thailand for 4+ years. training and fighting full time.
Our Podcasts are Broken Down in Segments:
What’s Happening With Us – both Emma and I are active female fighters in Thailand and we talk about what’s recently the case
Female Fighter Spotlights – we present a little background on two top names in female Muay Thai, one western fighter, one Thai
Theme of the Podcast – this is where we take on a topic of the month
Other Things in Our Lives – Emma and I are good friends, and we talk all the time about things other than Muay Thai. In this segment we share other podcasts or interests which may be of interest.
We’re doing something a little different this time around in the podcast. In previous episodes we’ve attempted to cover fight events that have been going on in Thailand, but quite often we’re listing names and results of women that people aren’t familiar with – and additionally this past month has been pretty quiet on the female Muay Thai front. But three Thai women are included in the Thai National Team for the IFMA World Championships in Sweden, Sawsing Sor Sopit (57 kg), Lommanee Sitchayanee (48 kg), and Loma Lookboonmee (45 kg). At the time of the podcast not a lot of results were in, but of the three only Loma medaled, taking Silver.
Emma and I, instead spending so much time on the fights individually we’ve decided to try out highlighting fighters as kind of a profile of sorts. So we selected Sawsing Sor Sopit of Thailand and Dakota Ditcheva of the UK, who was also fighting at the IFMA’s, in the Junior division and several weight classes above her own because there was nobody registered at 51-54 kg, so she actually took Gold at the 57 kg division. Dakota is 17 years old and the daughter of renowned former champion Lisa Howarth, and Dakota is undefeated as a professional fighter. We try to contrast and compare between these two fighters a little to illustrate differences between Thai and western fighting arcs:
Judging Youth – Young Great Male and Female Fighters
Sawsing has been fighting since she was 9 years old, is now 20, and just has just launched her “comeback” to fighting after getting married and giving birth to her first child, a son named Winner. At 20 years old, she’s already at the end of her fight arc by Thai standards, especially for women, but she’s one of the most famous and well-regarded female fighters in Thailand during her career – I had the incredible opportunity to clinch with her – video here. Dakota is on the rise, having trained in Muay Thai and kickboxing for most of her life and just now ge...
