2ITK Podcast e05 – Sylvie and Emma – On Training Aggression
The video above is the full podcast on YouTube
Emma is from England, living and working in Bangkok for the past 5+ years; she’s a teacher, blogger at Under the Ropes, and a fighter who is currently looking for a new home gym.
Sylvie (me) is from the US, living and training in Pattaya for the past 2 years (in Chiang Mai for 2 years prior to that); I’m a fighter, blogger and content creator at 8limbs.us, as well as a content creator for the Private Session for Nak Muay Nation.
Our monthly podcast covering the female Muay Thai scene in Thailand is sponsored by Lobloo, a Swedish company that has designed the only practical, effective and comfortable female groin-guard that either of us have ever found (and we’ve seen some seriously bizarre stuff, designed by someone who has zero understanding of female anatomy). They also have male cups, if that’s your business. For our listeners Lobloo offers a 10% discount on any of their guards when ordered through Amazon.uk and Amazon.us (they ship anywhere in the world) with the discount code: save2itk

The Catch Up
We start out by catching up a bit, Emma’s been on her annual vacation, which she decided to spend in Thailand this year rather than going home (as she usually does). She dropped down to Pattaya to train with me one of those days (and watch her partner Tu have a fantastic fight at Max) and then they headed off to Koh Chang for some island bungalow relaxation. I’m working on a guard that I learned from a former trainer of mine when I visited Lanna last month for a fight, survived a car accident without more than a tiny scratch, and am heading back up to the north for a slew of fights just as Emma is heading back to work.
I’ve recently updated my personal ranking of female fighters 48 kg and under, so we talk a bit about that and why it’s hard to rank female fighters, including by those institutions who sanction the titles that are intended to honor such rankings. You can hear more about that on the podcast, but two of the fighters on my list are discussed as fighter who Emma and I really like following and, in my case, I kind of fan-girl out about Thanonchanok R.R. Gilalampang (above), even though I aim to fight her again, and Emma has been excited by Marcela Soto’s frequent fighting. As both those fighters are on the list and you can hear more about what we’re keen on in the podcast.
Our Theme This Month: Training Aggression
