Fighting COVID-19: Chompu Sriyotee

You may have seen videos of her teaching phrases in Thai on Facebook. Or you may have seen some of her shadowboxing clips on Instagram. Chompu Sriyotee is a business owner, teaching English to locals and Thai to foreigners. She’s also competed before, winning the IFMA German Amateur Championships in March 2019 while studying abroad for her master’s. Currently based in Bangkok, she’s been paying close attention to how locals are responding to COVID-19. “At first, most people thought it would only affect old people,” says Chompu. “Then reports showed that most patients are not that old. After that, Thai people became more aware.” To date (time of writing: April 25, 2020), Thailand has the fifth-most cases in Southeast Asia. There have been 2,854 confirmed cases of the virus in the country, with 2,490 recovered and 50 deaths. Measures have been put into place by the government mid-March to ban gatherings and sporting events (including Muay Thai), and to close certain types of businesses.

FIGHTING COVID-19: Jackie Ngan

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Jackie Ngan is an actress and a Muay Thai fighter. She’s been training for about nine years and has seven amateur fights. At this time, Jackie is unable to act nor train, so she’s gathering scraps from her closet to help with a dire issue caused by COVID-19 – the lack of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). Please support the continuation of content on Muay Ying via Patreon Jackie started making reusable fabric face masks at the beginning of April. “On Instagram, one of my friends inspired me to make masks,” Jackie says. This friend was none other than Jessica Ng, a Muay Thai fighter and fashion designer based in New York City, whom Jackie had met while attending school in New York. When Jessica started making cloth face masks with Muay Thai shorts, she posted her process on her Instagram account. “The Muay Thai community is so small; it turned out the fashion school I was attending at the time was her alma mater. She reached out and donated fabric to me then, when I was a student. She really is such a giving person, “recalls Jackie. “It makes perfect sense that she’d inspire me […]

FIGHTING COVID-19: Benjamin Kincaid Windle

EMT’s tend to be forgotten when it comes to thanking those in important roles within healthcare. Many don’t appreciate what they do. They go into any and every situation when they don’t know the reality of the danger, but do so because it is their duty to serve people in need. What they do keeps us, the general public, safe daily.

WHAT IS MUAY THAI?

มวยไทย
Thai boxing
The art of eight limbs

No matter what you call it, this sport has changed lives.

Driven by economical means in Thailand, children from poorer regions of the country start training and fighting to help support their families.

This sport with humble beginnings has grown exponentially all over the world. Although most non-Thais do not fight as an economical means, their passion for the sport has helped pave the way for Muay Thai to become profitable on the international scene.
