Brooke is currently living, training, promoting and mumming in Puerto Escondido Mexico along with other half of the Fighting Farrells, Eddie and of course their son Flame. They are, quite frankly an incredible team. They backed themselves to start and subsequently sell a successful gym in their early 20s, and then sold up/packed up and moved to Thailand with their two dogs to live the fight life. The well documented love for their dog Sage was the driving force behind their move to Mexico where they now run promotion Rumble in the Jungle.

Our very first guest Michelle Russell came back for round 2!!! Michelle is a pro Muaythai (sometimes MMA) fighter and trainer at The Ring Gym. Michelle is a beautiful fighter with killer instincts in the ring and is just a general superb human. In this ep she chats about her drive to stay busy, what it means to be a role model in the gym and we riff on some match ups we'd love to see for Michelle.Join hosts Smokin' Joe Coverdale and Bridget Thakrar as they interview some of Australia's best Muay Thai fighters, trainers and promotors.You can find us on Instagram here:The Female Fight ExperienceSmokin' JoeBridget Thakrar
We had so many requests for Abby Nelson to come on the pod. She is a head official on IFMA, an executive on the international board, an official on One Championship and many local shows. She's a trail blazer and role model for women being the first woman in a number of her roles including ring director. Abby gave us the run down on being an official, dos and don'ts and the best pathway for someone keen to learn more.

Welcome to the first ep of 2024! This week, we were delighted to be joined by Chloe Dean from Khaoboy Muaythai. Chloe was operating on about an hour's sleep when we recorded, and still managed to absolutely blow us away with her motivation, determination and general outlook on life. Chloe shared a pretty dark history pre-Muay Thai. It's a stark difference to the life she now shares with partner and coach Cory and son Fox. Listen in for a dose of motivation, grounding and a demonstration of the pathway from rookie to pro-fighter in a few short years.

Grace is a PT, gym owner, Mum and pro Muaythai fighter. She has this infectious energy that lights up the room. In this ep we chat about her origins in bodybuilding, crying during sparring and why she always looks so damn happy in fight week. We also had the privilege and honour of her daughter Frankie joining us for this chat.

Helen from ACSA is glowing example of the progression an athlete can make when they follow the pathways we are lucky enough to have here in Australia. From Interclubs to Amateurs, to turning Pro and inspiring the next gen following behind her, Helen keeps levelling up each time she steps in the ring. In this ep Helen chats with us about starting Muay Thai as a way to get fit to climb Mt Kilimanjaro, the nightmare of cutting weight while on night shift (another ED nurse!) and Joe gives her a fight name.

This year Kayla Nassis made a decision to defer the final year of her Engineering degree so she can muaythai/eat/sleep/repeat and travel the world. And, can we tell you listeners, she seems pretty stoked with her decision. Kayla fights out of Sitshoothon under the guidance of Airam. She chats with us about her 10 fights to date, fighting in Thailand and just generally rubs in the carefree life of a 23 year old to make Joe and Bridget extremely jealous.Join hosts Smokin' Joe Coverdale and Bridget Thakrar as they interview some of Australia's best Muay Thai fighters, trainers and promotors.You can find us on Instagram here:The Female Fight ExperienceSmokin' JoeBridget Thakrar
Our guest this week is Tandia Singleton from Nukzu Muaythai and she has already fought most of our previous Australian guests. Living in Cairns the opportunities aren't as plentiful and Tandia has a habit of saying yes to most chances to fight just to keep her experience ticking up. In this ep we chat about her modest training facilities above a tuck shop, the impact changing gyms can have and her plans for future battles.

Our guest this week is 23 year old Swiss fighter Zoe Neuschwander, currently training out of Phuket Fight Club in Thailand. With origins in kickboxing, Zoe understands the nuanced difference with Muaythai more than most. After competing/dominating in K1, she crossed codes and has been deliberate in honing her craft ever since. Wanting to give Muaythai a red hot crack, she booked a one-way ticket to Thailand (on her Dads credit card after hers declined), packed up her stuff and has been in the motherland for over a year now with no plans to return.

Allegra Vickas has always been a competitor, whether that's on the footy field or in her amateur boxing career before she turned her focus to Muaythai at age 31. Allegra is one of those fighters that just loves to bang. She could take or leave the socials, the fanfare, the drop outs, the politics. She's just as happy fighting in front of a handful of people in a local county hall. She has strong hands, long limbs and a ridiculously good clinch game. All the makings of an outstanding Muaythai fighter.
