Fighting like a girl was given a new meaning after Germaine Yeap challenged two martial arts trainers to a bout in the ring.

In a video posted online by pranksters MaxMan.TV, the “nerdy girl” struggles to lift her own bodyweight on equipment, after walking into the Damansara Perdana Muay Fit gym in Malaysia.

She then removes her spectacles to challenge a number of the gym’s coaches to spar with her.

But as the montage at the beginning of the video shows, Yeap is in fact a champion Muay Thai fighter and, after struggling to fend off a some punches thrown by the coaches, proceeds to demolish the unwitting men.

When she asks one of the coaches to spar with her, his response is “I just don’t want to hurt you,” and although Yeap says “I don’t think you’ll hurt me,” her insinuation that “it’ll be safe,” may have led the men into a trap.

Yeap, who was previously the Kuala Lumpur Women’s Champion in Muay Thai, told the Total Martial Arts Academy in Coventry that she had gotten into the martial arts by accident.

“I happened to stumble into the sport of Muay Thai in my final year of university,” she said.

“The loud noises from the kicks and punches during a Muay Thai class at the university really drew my attention and it made me peek through the doors of the class.”
