Equipment Needed?
Initially just yourself, a pair of shorts or tracksuit bottoms (but shorts are better) and a T-shirt. While you are at the beginner’s stage we would not expect you to buy your own equipment.
Once you decide you want your own equipment - there isn't that much you need anyway. For the essentials such as shorts, t-shirts, groin guards and gum shields we have a small stock for students only. And for larger items when you want them like gloves and maybe a pad we can get them to order for you.
Grading?
Grading takes place on average, every 3 months. This is dependent on students wishing to grade.
As one of the founders of the IMTF the grading syllabus is entirely structured and comes directly from the National Culture Commission of Thailand
.
Students?
Age - We have students from all ages, from as young as 3yrs to as old as (well I promised not to say, you'll just have to take my word for it).
Gender - There are a surprising number or women who train on a regular basis - some of them train at a competitive level. However the majority train for general fitness, self-confidence, not forgetting self-defence.
Type of Training?
In order to keep each session interesting, each lesson will vary but the core elements such as cardiovascular work will always play a part. But to break it down into a simple list of things you could expect are:
Skipping
Pad-work -Boxing
Pad-work -Elbows
Pad-work -Knees
Pad-work -Front Kicks
Pad-work -Roundhouses
Pad-work -Combinations
Light sparring - Working through the various specific techniques
Free light sparing
Ring craft
Wai Kru - plus other cultural aspects
Shadow boxing
Meditation
Self Defence
Look Mai - basic Muay Thai
Mae Mai - Advanced Muay Thai
As well as Kon Muay – Cherng Muay
In order so constant training does not become monotonous I draw on over 30 years of personal teaching experience.
Oh! - And did I mention that we do all this in Thai.
