Reposted from @imjohanjulianlee – She was a family friend that wanted to do PT for Muaythai. Juggled her roles as a mom of two, an entrepreneur, a business owner & her training. Works from 4am till 5pm, trains from 7pm till 10pm, goes home for her kids, sleeps for about 2 hours & ready again to open her shop at 4am. Never missed class, always came for sparring & get smashed by the boys. Yet never did she ever say: “I think I want to stop” or say “Coach, Im tired.”… Everyone in the gym saw her grow & showed up. I always felt women had it hardest as a fighter… the time of the month, the role as a wife / mom, the sacrifices, the responsibilities as a business owner & society’s view about women in combat sport… I have nothing but respect for that kind of dedication. She did well in her debut fight & got in the finals with a seasoned pro. Her results to me did not matter as I know this is in itself a “life time learning experience”.
I’m Wallace.
Martial arts is a passion of mine since I was a kid. TaeKwon-Do was my first martial arts.
Since my injury to both knee’s ACL, I train for fitness only. Warriors.Asia started as Warriors of Borneo blogspot in 2015, this is my way of keeping myself updated in the martial arts world.
Writing stories about it is my small way of contributing to the development of the industry. My aim is to inspire & motivate others with my stories & also to help organisers & event promoters to have more media coverage.
I do not make any $$$ out of this ( but of course if there are any brand that wants to collab, I gladly welcome ).
Do reach out to me if you have any martial arts stories you want to tell.
