Jaidee Ram Muay

Lucia as was  her custom, never  performed a Ram Muay, but always
turned  her back until her opponent had completed their Ram Muay.

Lucia appeared to meditate while her opponent did his Ram Muay

This view best shows the difference in upper body build-and strength between the two.

Heavy Weight World Champion, 200 lb Joe Hess,

in a full contact Karate challenge. Nobody complained about the great weight disparity here. But
when female fighters occasionally have even a slight edge in experience, age or wt,
critics (mostly male) cry foul.
