T.N.T Muay Thai

To those that have, those that will.
To those that are and those that did.
Thank you for your Service

This time last weekend we had to scramble for an hour and a half to get to an event so Jessi could finally have another match.

From the phone ringing at 10.20am, dropping what we were doing, getting gear together and getting to the venue was a whirlwind.

Thank you so very much for again allowing us to share the ring with you Tina.
Thank you Jason and the whole Phoenix Freestyle Kickboxing ChCh team.
Nothing but love and respect to you all.

Thank you Dougal, Brett and the whole Sitnarong team for having us.

And thank you to Riley, Michelle and Brooklyn for all your help at short notice.

Massive, MASSIVE thank you to Sheri Vaega for allowing us to share the cage with you. Holy heck, you are a very tough lady. I can not wait to see how far you go in this sport.
For the amount of time you have been training, far out, you are scary good.
You absolutely gave it to Michelle from the start.

From a lady who didn't want to ever step in the ring to now.
