The video shows Thusi learning how to throw punches with a man, who she describes as a trainer of world champions.

“The guy training us actually trains champions- real fighters would kill to have him as a teacher but here he is- teaching muaythai to amateurs like me- with passion and care. What a champ,” she said.

“As a kid I played with the boys- and only played physical games with the girls… loved action movies. Today I get paid to look like I can actually fight, but I actually just found new ways to play with the boys and girls who like to play like me,” Thusi wrote on IG.
