Thanks for following along, and I can’t wait to connect. -
Hi, I'm Fatty 🐾
I am a 14 year old Maltese Shih-Tzu from Sydney, Australia, now living it up in sunny Thailand!
When I’m not strolling on the beach, I’m at home being the best Emotional Support Officer.
It’s tough work being cute and giving cuddles all day to keep my humans happy.
OUR STORY
We both grew up in Sydney, Australia from Vietnamese families and met as awkward teenagers in high school.
Like many, we followed the playbook for “success”: go to school, graduate university, get a job, and get married.
While Tony pursued a degree in Construction Management, Linda studied Early Childhood and Primary School Teaching.
As we focused on building our careers, we were deep in the hustle and bustle - fast-paced routine of working hard during the week and partying harder on the weekends. It often felt like we were running on autopilot and our unhealthy habits were hurting us more than we realised.
Then came Muay Thai.
It sparked small positive changes in our lives but it wasn’t until the pandemic flipped our world upside down that everything shifted.
We got a taste of a slower, more connected way of living. Spending time together and our furbaby, Fatty, who was often home alone due to our hectic lifestyle. We found balance, and truly appreciated the little things.
Suddenly, we were questioning our lifestyle, our future, and what we truly wanted from life …
WHY EMPOWER?
Muay Thai has been more than just a sport for us - it’s about empowerment: becoming stronger, more confident and more in control of your life.
The decision to move to Thailand was terrifying. Leaving behind stability to chase a dream felt risky, but the more we faced those fears head-on, the more we discovered the rewards of stepping into the unknown.
Now, we’re living a life that feels healthier, happier and more authentically us.
Through Muay Thai and travel, we’ve found not just incredible teachers and lifelong friends, but also parts of ourselves we never knew existed.
We know starting something new—or planning a trip to train in a different country—can feel overwhelming.
So, our mission is to share resources that make your Muay Thai adventure exciting, straightforward and completely doable!
Empowering others to live happier, healthier lives isn’t just our goal—it’s our passion.
