Muay Thai getting more popular among Singapore women
By Lynda Hong, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 22 March 2009 2148 hrs




SINGAPORE: Muay Thai or kick boxing, which was used to be known as a man's sport, is increasingly being taken up by women in Singapore.

According to a Muay Thai club in Singapore, the number of its female members has doubled in the past year.

Some Muay Thai enthusiasts gather at the Bukit Batok Nature Park every evening to practise the sport.

Many of them said they took up Muay Thai to build up their stamina and for self defence.

Muay Thai coaches said recent movies and TV programmes on Muay Thai have made the sport popular.

Terence Cheah, a coach at Hilltop Muay Thai, said: "A lot of people have the thought that Thai boxing is very rough. But because of the awareness nowadays, girls realise that it's a lot of physical activity. It gives your body a more challenging workout. Hence, a trimmer waist, better but stronger legs."
