Read about our past events, stay in the loop on upcoming sparring sessions, and explore ways your gym can create a safe, supportive, and productive environment for women+ members of the community.
Most women+ who train in combat sports have a version of the same story. A class where she was the only woman in the room. A coach who paired her with the same one or two partners every time, because the rest of the gym "didn't want to hit a girl." A sparring session where someone went too hard and laughed it off. A locker room conversation she wasn't supposed to hear. A small comment from another member that wasn't quite enough to report but was definitely enough to remembe
Our second monthly women+ Muay Thai sparring event went down at Spyda Muay Thai in Garwood, NJ — and it was everything we hoped this community would become.
Twenty-five rounds. Fighters from 15 years of age and up. Women+ who walked in nervous, unsure of who they'd be paired with or how the day would feel — and walked out with new training partners, new friends, and a few more rounds of real sparring under their belt.
