How did my passion for Muay Thai started & Where I am now.
It all started with how a close friend of mine wanted to learn Martial arts. With that, we both had our phones out and we started on finding martial arts centers near us. Then, I had found one that was only 5 minutes away from our current location. By using google, I contacted them and called them to see if they were open and lucky us! They were! We drove there and was introduced and that was when I had first signed up to their gym membership along with my friend. The center was called 'Redwolves'

I had always been interested in sports, before joining Muay Thai, I was an active Bola Jaring player. I had represented my school for various competitions along with my teammates. But, with Muay Thai it's different as it involves a lot of techniques and for a girl to join such sport was kind of scary to me as, kicking the punching bag was already painful. Imagine sparring or continuously hitting the bag hurts. On the first day of training, I was out of stamina; I came back home with my legs and knuckles filled with bruises; but it felt good as it was something out of my comfort zone and it still is a very fun way to let out my stress.
Fast forward to 3 years later, I am a fighter for the gym; meaning, my coach would send me to competitions to fight in my weight category which is 54KG's. I am also lucky to be able to represent Melaka in Sukma, this year for Muay Thai. Muay Thai has become a life for me, it has introduced and taught me a lot of knowledge that I wont know if I hadn't join a few years ago. With that, I had learned to be disciplined, strong, and confident. If I were to be disturbed today, I wouldn't be scared to stand up for myself with the knowledge of Muay Thai.
