They lived in a rather rural area, but close enough to Mueang Nonthaburi to not have to rely completely on their own land for food and wages. Her mother is a food vendor in the city and her grandfather was a Muay Thai fighter in his youth. Those years punished his body greatly, but he was committed to teaching his grand daughter how to fight to avoid the common career of most woman in that area (forced prostitution).<br/><br/>While her mother was in the city working, she spent her days with her grandfather. He started teaching her Muay Thai around the age of nine. In teaching her that, he felt it best she know the history of it and taught her Muay Boran as well. Pakpoa rose to the challenge and while she didn't excel at it, it did help her earn money for her family as she started partaking in local, possibly illegal, competitions. Eventually, she joined proper competitions and won a few here and there.<br/><br/>In the main city, she picked up a few other fighting styles, but they never stuck with her as much as the Muay Thai and Boran. At least till she saw the students of the Chin Woo Athletic Association. Her mother and grandfather both agreed that they were the best of the best. She was particularly enamored with the Shi Er Lu Tan Tui style that they displayed. One of the Chinese fighters in the group announced that<em>"If your Tán Tuǐ is good, your kung fu will be good"</em>, as it focuses on blocking, stances, footwork, and most of all, kicks. And improve fighting skills, balance, strength, flexibility, and focus, and contains the basic skills required in advanced forms.<br/><br/>Pakpao work hard through her teens to become a Tán Tuǐ expert, master, and eventually world authority. Even though she won plenty of competitions for it and world recognition, her favorite fights were the 'off the record' type where she could combine her Muay Thai, Boran, and Tán Tuǐ without being docked points.
