Sugar & Spice .. & Everything Nice ?

“To be a good girl,” says Pannipa Chaiyated, a demure 13-year-old, “you must have manners, speak politely and help with the housework.”

It's rather old fashioned, isn't it ? Shouldn't good girls this day be independent, smart, out-going, and make a decent living  & pyacheck... like a man ?

Well, "In a country where femininity is highly prized and girls are often told by their parents to be discreet, obedient and gracious, female boxing is a surprise hit."

I really think Thai girls do have all that .. and more ..here's our future ..

Orathai Boonyarit, 14, is passionate about the sport. When her mother told her to quit if she lost the day’s match, she refused. “It’s not about winning or losing,” she said.

I recently took up a cardio exercise class "Turbo Kick" which afterall is fun.  But without boxing basics/training, the footwork and the fists  would look awkward!  On the other hands, these girls with training will just look right! 

From the article, the girls don't have shoes in training,  as always - they can not afford them. Being in the land of a million unused sneakers, I hope I can do something for these girls.

So .. any more information about these groups of girls in Phisanuloke area will be very appreciated.

 Thank YOU.

 PS. Are there any basic boxing classes in BKK area ?
