"Power is created in the mind, rooted in the feet, developed in the legs, directed by the hips, transferred through the torso, focused in the feet or hands, and felt in the spirit." -C.J. Doyle
I am a woman who walked into a Muay Thai gym for the first time in October of 2007, at age 30.
Though it has not been easy, I've been there almost every day since.
Why "Butterfly Fray?"
I actually came across the phrase butterfly fray in a spam email - the words stood out from what was otherwise a completely nonsensical message. I like the image that it brings to mind, frenzied butterflies clashing in battle, and it's an apt description of a Muay Thai match; a Thai boxer fighting in colorful silk shorts truly does "float like a butterfly."
