Fighter Spotlight: Natalie Wong

What does real support look like in Muay Thai? And why is it so hard to find sometimes?

An amateur fighter out of The Little Giant Muay Thai in Virginia, Natalie Wong trains under Thai champion Mahachon, aka Kru Chon. As someone who started in a different martial arts background and found a newfound purpose within Muay Thai, Natalie has found support in the most unexpecting ways – and has lacked support in ways that others didn’t. Because of her unique experiences and frustrations within the sport throughout her training and fighting journey, she makes it a point to support up and coming fighters in her gym in the best ways she can.
