Muay Thai - Richa Gaur Muay Thai as a modern combat sport was first formalized in the early 20th century.

In an exclusive conversation with The Better India, Richa shares that it was because of her parents’ extra care and attention that she made it back then. “I’ve been told that I was really tiny and weak at the time of my birth. Though I became healthy eventually, my parents were extremely cautious and placed no restrictions on me that girls in India, including my elder sister, faced while growing up. And I grew up a tomboy,” she recalls. An average student at school, sports was what brought the best in her, as she played everything as early as six. However, her foray into martial arts would only commence five years later. “I was in class 6, and they had started giving Taekwondo classes at school. I just took it up as a hobby and soon realised that I loved the sport and left no stone unturned to excel in it,” she shares. CALL NOW : 8239629200
This would flag off the journey of a champion. Within a year, she had already gotten the black belt and won her first gold medal! With that, she had the opportunity to represent the state in Delhi. But her parents couldn’t afford the expenses. “They consoled me saying that I could go next time,” she laughs. https://www.thebetterindia.com/186108/india-muay-thai-richa-gaur-female- athlete-fighting-inspiring/ CALL NOW : 8239629200
