Before joining Ronin Thai, this young member was experiencing difficulties at school and was quite shy, often finding it difficult to speak to people she didn't know. Encouraged by her dad, she decided to try her first session at Ronin and find something active that she could enjoy. 

Although nervous when she first walked through the doors, she quickly found the experience was much better than she had expected. The welcoming atmosphere helped her settle in, meet new people and begin forming friendships. 

Since joining Ronin, she has seen a real change in herself. She feels fitter, happier and more confident, is more comfortable speaking to new people and has developed new friendships. She also feels that she is doing better at school. 

Her commitment to Muay Thai has grown too. From previously training around once a week, she now trains consistently, often attending sessions throughout the week. She has progressed to taking part in interclub competitions and now even helps newer students who may need a little extra support settling in. 

She is proud of how far she has come and has set herself her next challenge which is taking part in a junior novice fight. 

In her own words: 

“ You should 100% join because it’s an amazing club, there are amazing people here, and you will become a better person.” Junior Member
