Terrie Schauer writes a blog, Way of the Warrior Queen, that is half self-help advice and half female muay thai/kickboxing. While the self-help and positive thinking is something I only dabble in, she has amassed an impressive array of interviews with top female fighters (including my friend Sylvie Charbonneau who fights professionally in Chiang Mai). She recently wrote on our sparring circle, spreading the idea to other women so that groups might start up anywhere. Part of starting this circle was to meet our own immediate needs, but also there is the sense that in general women fighters are a resource to each other. We have trained hard and achieved some degree of skill, and could only benefit from building a community, something to enhance our experiences at our gyms and with our trainers.
