First Fight: Fought & Won

It's not every day you see a mother of two donning a pair of gloves and stepping into a boxing ring but if you happened to be in attendance at Bangla Stadium in Patong Beach, Thailand on Wednesday, March 10th, you would have see Emma Lynds in action.

Emma is not jjts the mother of two; she is the owner and founder of Elements Academy of Martial Arts, Vancouver. This was her first Muay Thai fight.

Her fight was only one highlight of a ten-day Muay Thai training trip to Thailand, something she always encourages her members to join her on. This year there were five others with her, including two of her staff and three of her members.

But you don't have to fight in Thailand, you can just go to train and enjoy the sunshine if you prefer. And don't forget to visit the elephants with their penchant for pineapple.

Everyone on the trip had a really great time and are excitedly talking about going back out again next year. If you'd like to be part of this or if you're interested in joining Elements Academy of Martial Arts, please contact us.
