What is ‘Fight Like a Girl. ?
Fight Like a Girl is an incredible program that is helping women across the world to become more confident in their physical abilities and take control of their health and well-being.
Fight Like a Girl is an amazing initiative that began in 2018 in Thailand at Lisa and Denny's Raw Art Warriors boxing gym. Until 2018 the R.A.W. had been private members club with most members predominately being men.
Lisa realised how much women benefit from learning and using the art of boxing but was aware most women didn't wan't to train along side the men they worked with or knew from around town. So, she started Fight Like A Girl and before she knew it woman from around the globe were booking in and joining her on the mats. She provided women of all ages an opportunity to really understand the mental fitness, balance, self-defence, and a sense of community that boxing offers.
It's a great way for women to gain confidence in the gym and in boxing sessions through the sweet science.
This retreat offers specialised training in boxing fitness, nutrition, food hacks, art healing through painting and it's also a great way for women to make connections with other like-minded individuals from around the world who are also empowered to take up boxing and learn self-defence.
Fight like a girl is to be strong and determined, to never give up, and to challenge yourself, to be the best you can be. It is about finding the strength within you to overcome all obstacles and to stand up for what you believe in. It is about courage, resilience, and the power of believing in you.
It's time to show the world what you are capable of.

The Benefits of Painting.
The 6 Great Benefits of painting and drawing
- Improve your communications skills

- Increase emotional intelligence
- Improve memory
- Self-esteem booster
- Reduce stress
Lisa has been an artist since a young girl growing up in Canada and has had exhibitions in Australia and Thailand. She is predominantly an abstract painter, but during the global shutdown, wanted to connect with her soul sisters internationally and give them strength and love through her art. She created Spirit Sista Art which is a combination of your own self portrait, your favourite flower, favourite color and your spirit animal. Lisa and Denny had an art/music bar in Thailand which they would entertain and create with people from around the world. Language barriers would arise, but through the mediums of art and music, all could communicate and create together.
