Stella Hemetsberger credits time in Austria and Thailand for her career ascension

Stella Hemetsberger built the technical foundation of her striking skills in her hometown in Salzburg.

The proud Austrian, however, left her comfort zone to continue improving her craft, training alongside killers at the remodeled Phuket Fight Club.

Hemetsberger told Sportskeeda:

"I think you can learn different things from each place and gym, and it gives you the opportunity to pick up what works best for you. I learned all the fundamentals back home, but the high-level training in Thailand definitely helps me improve day by day."
