Buttrick bought her first pair of boxing gloves and found a trainer in London where she worked as a shorthand typist by day and trained at night.\n\n“I was small, but I was mean,” Buttrick told The Miami Herald in a 1998 interview.\n\nButtrick began her boxing career in 1948, touring Europe as a bantamweight in the boxing booths of carnivals before coming to North America in 1952. Also known as “Battling Barbara,” she fought professionally in Canada and the U.S. before moving to Dallas, TX in 1957.\n\nBy the time Buttrick arrived in Texas, she had fought over 1,000 bouts with men, as well as 18 professional women’s fights. It was then in San Antonio that Battling Barbara truly made history, winning a world title bout against Phyllis Kugler.\n\nAfter moving to Miami Beach with her husband, she defeated Gloria Adams in what is believed to be the first female boxing match in Florida in 1959. She fought her last fight in 1960 while four months pregnant before retiring to raise her children and pivot careers to be a ringside photographer.\n\nButtrick was inducted into the International Boxing and Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1990, and she founded the Women’s International Boxing Federation in 1993.

She turned pro in Canada in 1975 but was limited by state restrictions on female boxing in the U.S. Trimiar applied for a boxing license in her home state of New York only to be denied.\n\n“I slept, ate, ran boxing. It didn’t give me nothing back,” Trimiar told The Grueling Truth. “You don’t realize the prejudice out there. Of all the isms, and I know them all, sexism is the worst.”\n\nAfter a long legal battle, the Lady Tyger was finally issued a boxing license by New York State in 1978 and went on to win the women’s world lightweight championship in 1979. A lifelong advocate, Trimiar went on a month-long hunger strike in 1987 for better working conditions and higher pay for female professional boxers.\n\nMarian Trimiar was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2021.","Who is Marian Trimiar?",{"_uid":680,"answer":681,"question":682,"component":670},"3d3358ba-2c4f-403d-a579-5ed80b13380c","Lucia Rijker was training in judo at the age of 6, becoming a part of the Dutch National Softball Team at age 7 and the Netherlands Junior Fencing Champion at age 14. Rijker started training in kickboxing at 15 years old, knocking out the American Kickboxing Champion Lily Rodriguez and continuing to gain a 36-0 record with four world titles.\n\nRijker’s boxing career was equally impressive with 17 wins and 14 KOs, earning her the Women’s International Boxing Federation (WIDF) Welterweight title and legendary status.\n\nKnown as the “Most Dangerous Woman in the World” and the “Dutch Destroyer,” Rijker took a short hiatus from the ring to pursue several acting roles. These included an appearance in the 2004 Oscar-winning film Million Dollar Baby and an award-winning documentary in 2000 about her life called Shadow Boxers.\n\nOn top of Rijker’s extraordinary career in the ring, she speaks four languages fluently and hosts lectures and seminars about reaching one’s full potential, with a focus on staying in peak physical condition.\n\nLucia Rijker was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2020.","Who is Lucia Rijker?",{"_uid":684,"answer":685,"question":686,"component":670},"1ef342ad-2c5c-4da3-b6ce-eea3f237a5fe","Christy Martin began her fighting career winning three consecutive titles in ‘Toughwoman’ contests. She launched her professional boxing career with a six-round draw against Angela Buchanan in 1989, winning the rematch one month later with a KO in round two. Christy went on to win 19 consecutive matches.\n\nChristy, nicknamed the “Coal Miners Daughter,” started training with boxing coach and husband James Martin in 1991. After the couple moved to Florida, Christy became the first woman to sign with Don King, and debuted in Las Vegas, NV, in 1994. Two years later she rose to fame as the lightweight women’s champion of the world, earning her a place on the Sports Illustrated cover and an immediate pay increase from $15,000 to $150,000 per fight.\n\nChristy’s stardom continued until her first KO loss to Laila Ali in 2003, followed by a string of more losses and festering personal turmoil that would soon come to a head.\n\n“Boxing was the best therapy I could find,” Salters told Sports Illustrated in 2016. “That’s where I felt the safest.”\n\nIn 2010, Christy was stabbed repeatedly and shot by her husband James Martin after years of abuse. The gunshot missed her heart by only 4 inches. Against all odds, Christy miraculously survived. James was convicted of attempted 2nd-degree murder and sentenced to 25 years in prison.\n\nAfter everything she had gone through, Christy wasn’t ready to give up boxing yet, and 193 days after almost losing her life she re-entered the ring only to have her trainer stop the fight when it was clear her hand was broken. She subsequently suffered a stroke, officially ending her career in 2012. She had to fight another long road to recovery, eventually taking up work as a substitute teacher and aiding military veterans in finding employment.\n\nChristy spoke on Capitol Hill in support of the Protecting Domestic Violence and Stalking Victims Act in 2013. “If that’s why I had to go through what I did, to help save other people,” she says, “that’s O.K. with me. I made it, and so many people do not.”\n\nChristy was the first female boxer to be inducted into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame in 2016, and she was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2020.","Who is Christy Martin (Christy Salters)?",{"_uid":688,"answer":689,"question":690,"component":670},"7d536b1c-7d61-47fb-8161-14126f965610","Inspired by watching a Christy Martin televised match, Laila Ali began boxing at age 18 despite initial resistance from her famous father, Muhammad Ali. Her father was concerned for his daughter’s safety, but she knocked out her opponent April Fowler in round one of her first match in 1999. She went on to seal her superstar status with 9 wins in a row.\n\nIn 2003, Ali got the chance to fight her inspiration Christy Martin and won with a KO in the 4th round.

The term “Kickboxing” was first coined by Osamu Noguchi, who wanted to create a sport where Karate and Muay Thai fighters could compete against each other.

Striking Systems - Kickboxing is built on a 4-point striking system (2 punches and 2 kicks), while Muay Thai uses an 8-point striking system that includes knee strikes, elbow strikes, and upper body grappling that’s referred to as the “full clinch.” Because of this, Kickboxers often fight from a distance, while Muay Thai artists move in and out of their opponent’s pocket. \n\n2. Movement - Thai fighters tend to move at a more even pace—their foundational footwork movement is a forward 1-2-3 march called the Yang Sam Khum that keeps their feet flat-footed and their head centerline. \n\nIn contrast, Kickboxers stay on the balls of their feet and bounce and circle around the ring. Kickboxers move in and out of the striker zone at a lightning-fast pace, cutting angles with their footwork to set up and doge attacks.\n\n3. Stance - If a Muay Thai fighter and a Kickboxer are facing each other in a ring (say, in a UFC or Bellator Mixed Martial Arts fight), they’re going to hold their bodies very differently. \n\nThe Muay Thai fighter will be standing flat on their feet, hips facing their opponent, hands at their temples to block strikes. \n\nThe Kickboxer will be bouncing on their feet with one foot significantly ahead of the other, creating a bladed stance that turns the side of their torso towards their opponent. Their hands will likely be a little lower, as Kickboxers fight from a distance. \n\n4. Kicks - Kicks to the body and head are cornerstones of both Muay Thai and Kickboxing…but not all kicks are created equal. \n\nIn Muay Thai, fighters kick by turning their hips and landing with the lower shin. They don’t bend their knee, but rather keep the leg relaxed until the moment of impact, resulting in a powerhouse of a kick that can feel and sound like the crack of a baseball bat. It’s because of this force that Muay Thai artists are trained to check their opponent’s kicks to prevent serious damage to their legs. \n\nKickboxers, on the other hand, hinge from the knee and lift the leg up to strike with the foot rather than the shin. Because pure kickboxing fights are often scored by points, fighters are motivated to deliver rapid-fire kicks that may not knock out their opponent but will rack up points for strikes. In American Kickboxing, fighters are not allowed to throw kicks to their opponent’s thighs or calves. \n\n5. Volume and Pace - Watch even just one round of Kickboxing and you’ll be able to grasp how much of kickboxing is a barrage of strikes. Kickboxers are volume strikers—they strike fast and often, punctuating strike combos with a mix of high and low kicks.\n\nOn the other hand, Muay Thai fighters tend to fight with a more patient and measured style. Many Muay Thai gyms coach a Sabai Sabai mindset, which loosely translates to “keep it chill.” The idea is to slowly wear down your opponent and then when they’re tired, knock them out with ruthless efficiency. \nAt the end of the day, both Muay Thai and Kickboxing are incredible workouts, great for your mental health, and badass as hell.

For example, if you see someone “walking his opponent down” or “stalking,” what that essentially means is that they are controlling the engagement and forcing their opponent out of the center of the ring–and thus, they’re probably winning. On the flip side, if one fighter is “boxing off the back foot” well, they are constantly angling away from their opponent and not allowing them to get into a good punching position.

The Motivation\n\nThe music. The instructors. The energy. Those elements are contagious. Even though the instructors can’t see me, I know Flo, Tommy, Hitman, etc. would be disappointed if I just stopped and quit. I honestly have kept going because of an instructor talking to me through my TV – sounds stupid saying it out loud, but you will know what I mean if you take a few classes.\n\n2. The Workouts.\n\nI actually got my heavy bag a few weeks before I decided to try Fightcamp. I figured, boxing is a great idea and I’ve done it before, so do I really need someone to guide me through workouts when I know what to do?\n\nWhen I was on my own, I’d do some light jump rope, situps or planks, then I’d hit the bag for a few rounds and call it a day. It felt pretty good. But then, I did some Fightcamp workouts. I was dripping sweat and exhausted.\n\nBeing a somewhat experienced boxer and generally in pretty good shape, I tried jumping straight to a 45-min intermediate workout, but quickly scaled back to work my way back up to those. The workouts are tough and the mix of boxing stuff and ground stuff is what makes it so good. On my own, I tend to just hit the bag over and over again and end up doing way less core/legs. I needed someone to tell me to do that or I’d slack.\n\n3. The Tracking.\n\nDid I mention I’m ultra competitive? Being able to hit a punch target or beat my last score is motivating. Nowadays, it almost feels like if I don’t track my workout, then it doesn’t count. I’m excited to see even more features on historic workouts and tracking improvement – and I am sure the FightCamp team is working on some great stuff.\n\n4. The Convenience\n\nI work from home and share a car with my wife, so it is nice and easy to be able to turn on a workout anytime. I can throw on a 15 or 30-minute workout during my lunch hour. Now, there are no excuses for not making it to the gym because I don't have to go there to workout.","What are four (4) reasons FightCamp works?",{"name":534,"created_at":535,"published_at":536,"updated_at":537,"id":538,"uuid":539,"content":1801,"slug":534,"full_slug":553,"sort_by_date":48,"position":554,"tag_list":1813,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":57,"meta_data":48,"group_id":556,"first_published_at":557,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1814,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":541,"name":542,"category":1802,"component":39,"meta_info":1810,"block_image":1811,"cover_image":1812,"internal_notes":7},{"name":468,"created_at":469,"published_at":470,"updated_at":471,"id":472,"uuid":473,"content":1803,"slug":468,"full_slug":570,"sort_by_date":48,"position":86,"tag_list":1808,"is_startpage":9,"parent_id":135,"meta_data":48,"group_id":572,"first_published_at":573,"release_id":48,"lang":60,"path":48,"alternates":1809,"default_full_slug":48,"translated_slugs":48,"_stopResolving":62},{"_uid":475,"name":476,"topics":1804,"component":118,"meta_info":1805,"meta_title":7,"block_image":1806,"cover_image":1807,"internal_notes":7,"meta_description":7},[484,512,539],{"_uid":560,"title":561,"plugin":43,"description":562},{"id":564,"alt":565,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":565,"filename":566,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":568,"alt":565,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":565,"filename":569,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],{"_uid":544,"title":545,"plugin":43,"description":546},{"id":548,"alt":542,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":542,"filename":549,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},{"id":551,"alt":542,"name":7,"focus":48,"title":542,"filename":552,"copyright":7,"fieldtype":50},[],[],"7b09efb4-fee4-4672-b973-73c566c0cf92",{"type":730,"content":1817},[1818,1826,1831,1835,1839,1853,1857,1861,1865,1869,1873,1878,1883,1887,1892,1896,1900,1904,1909,1913,1918,1922,1926,1931,1940],{"type":741,"content":1819},[1820,1822],{"text":1821,"type":739},"FightCamp was created with the idea of elevating the at-home workout experience and making the best of an in-studio boxing workout accessible to anyone, anywhere.
