Comments
If women's Muay Thai was more centralized like men's Muay Thai during the Golden Era, do you think it would be even more difficult for you to train with different gyms and trainers like you are currently able to do with the Preserve the Legacy project? Do you think each gym and promoter would almost require you to stick within their "domain" even more so than in the current loosely "un-centralized" environment with so many organizations? It's a blessing for us right now that we are able to see you train all across Thailand with so many different legends and truly living as "Kemical X." As much as I like the centralized competition surrounding a few major stadia in the past, I could not imagine you being restricted to one gym, and that would seem to be detrimental to the Preserve the Legacy effort. I've heard past horror stories about getting on the promoter's bad side, especially in the days when there were fewer but more powerful promoters.
