Angela Chang: Female Fighters, Thai Culture, & Self-Honesty – SoBC Podcast EP 11

Back home in New York, Angela Chang fell in love with Muay Thai. So much so, she left family and friends to spend the last 5 years training and fighting pro in Bangkok, Thailand. Nothing about this choice was easy. And after the initial honeymoon period, the challenges have come from all directions, and still keep coming! But armed with an incredible mindset, Angela learns from every failure and success along the way. And has built considerable experience in the process. Fighters like Angela are highlighting the impact that female fighters are making on the world Muay Thai scene – including in Thailand, which traditionally and historically hasn't been encouraging of women in the sport. This is changing. There's a rising tide of women fighters that can positively shift Muay Thai as a whole. Our guest on this episode...
