No joke I am quite obsessed with Muay-Thai boxing and have been for a few years. I got my gloves, mouthpiece, shin guards, you name it. I usually leave my lipstick home then. My very first trainer told me once that he'd love tho see me get in trouble leaving a pub late at night, and watch me fight back. Weird right? He said he'd love to see the other guy's surprise on his face. I know my 120lbs would not be much of a help really but I know I could hurt before hitting the ground. I could and probably would. But it is not the actual reason why I started it. I remember taking a class about 10 years ago while on a trip in New-Zealand. The girl was good, so good, she indeed was New-Zealand's women champ.  It was one class, once. But it got stuck into my bones right away. I did not start training then. It took another 5 or 6 years. But once I found the right guy and started, I was hooked for good. I would miss a good windsurfing or long-boarding session to go throw my punches & jabs & kicks. I realized that not only I was loving the sweat of it (definitely opening-up on my most feminine me here) but that it was helping me be much more balanced in my life, more focus, more accurate in my choices. It puts me, pushes me in a peaceful state of mind. It does its job of healing a somewhat tortured past. 
Okay enough for now. There is more to say about it (that's how passionate I am), but I don't want to lose you quite yet.
Here is a video that combines my addiction to punches, even though it is not Muay-Thai, my admiration for great photography within a film, and the overall editing work that I love.

And if you want more from Russ Lamoureux - here is another inspiring short I loved. No boxing, at all. I promise.
