Vlog #90 - Back in Chiang Mai - I See a Difference in My Muay Thai

[@oMindoMagiciano]

Youre an inspiration... Youre going to be a very wise woman when its all said and done

[@8limbsUs]

Thank you John. :)

[@jordanbouma12]

Its pretty rad being able to see such an aged tradition in Muay Thai make moves forward with the increase in the number of female tournaments. Your very blessed to be seeing it, and good luck with the pad work. I agree you should be more aggressive in speaking up about your willingness to spar more.

Thanks Jordan. :)

Just wondering, Do you ever take time to learn and or practice Muay Boran or Muay Chaiya? They've helped my Muay Thai practices alot.

[@8limbsUs]

My training day is very full so it is hard to add things in Jordan Bouma - I did meet Kru Lek in Bankok and watch his Muay Chaiya class some years ago, and I've done a little Boran in Chiang Mai at Lanna. I'm drawn to it, and it does help. I also incorporate the symmetry elements of Boran, something I've learned from Sakmongkol.

Cool. Just wondering. BTW, Please dont stop doing what your doing. You really do inspire people more than you know. This comes from a guy in america thats surrounded by friends and family that dont really understand why it is i do what i do. I love Muay Thai; and to be able to see a world wide community of people that share my passion like yourself just makes me work harder partly so I can be a well accomplished fighter, partly so i can beat all of you one day, jus kidn.

Awesome Jordan - I'm going to keep going as long as the money holds out. We've got perhaps enough for 1 more year of fighting in Thailand. We'll see what doors open in that time. Jordan Bouma

[@jordanbouma12]

Do you think you and your husband are going to keep doing tournaments if you come back to the states or.... mabey i'm getting too personal, if i am you dont have to answer but from a fan; what would your plans be if you came back?

[@8limbsUs]

I doubt I'll fight much, if at all, when returning to the US. Jordan Bouma

[@action9449]

Sounds like you need to come down to Bangkok and train at master toddys there's tons on girls and guys to spar with u can work your clinch and everything u just said in a controlled environment

I know Emma Thomas well at Toddy's. She has invited me often. :)
