About Me

Hello! My name's Amy Gross, I'm currently training Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) and living with my partner in our gym, Sor.Jaiphet in Melbourne, Australia.I've had 8 fights, 7 wins, 1 loss and currently hold the WMC Oceania Title. I hope to continue fighting in Australia and also overseas.I work full time for a not-for-profit community organisation that works in the area of child protection and family welfare which in reality means that I sit at the computer all day and don't get payed much. But hey, it's for a good cause....Added to that I like to do stuff & things and tend to spend a little too much time thinking about what the hell is happening to this crazy world we're living in. When it gets me down I usually eat a Frosty Fruit ice pole and then often feel a lot better.I spend a lot of time in a warehouse in the inner suburbs of Melbourne with the other fighters I live with who are my little Muay Thai family.You can visit my gym's webpage at www.geocities.com/sorjaiphet or www.myspace.com/sorjaiphetIf you would like to contact me in regards to fights you can do so through here or contact my trainer Tao at [email protected] dee!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQLFpCv22Ww
