I never really had a tough workout in my life until I met my husband on 2018 and started Muay Thai. A few months in, I decided to push myself even further—both physically and mentally—by stepping into the ring for a real fight at a local stadium. After that, I took up BJJ. Training in martial arts has been a humbling experience. I get my butt kicked all the time—being one of the smallest in the gym and often the only woman in a session. The guys I train with never intend to hurt me, but the difference in strength between men and women is real. Still, that never stops me from showing up. Instead of relying on strength, I focus on refining my technique. It’s a grinding, exhausting process. By the end of the day, I’m drained, and sometimes I just want to quit. But at the same time, I want to be better—not just to win against an opponent, but to silence that voice in my head that keeps telling me I’m weak. Keep on going my friends, cheers 🤙🏽
