Level One: Beginner I
At this level, students are taught Thai fundamentals: how to throw
the basic punch and Thai kick, how to use elbows and knees as weapons,
how to defend against the same moves. They learn how to shadow-box,
how to use the bags and how to do pad work in the ring.
Level Two: Beginner II
Students show improved cardiovascular fitness through increased
rounds of jump rope and running sprints. They also show better understanding
of the Thai fundamentals. Teamwork is emphasized, as well as balance
and coordination. Students can begin light sparring at this level.
Level Three: Intermediate
Students continue improvement in cardio work, as well as pushups
and crunches. They can handle more complex combinations on the bags,
and they show increased skill in the ring while leg-sparring, boxing,
and working on simple combinations of legs and hands.
Level Four: Advanced Intermediate
Students can now use knees when sparring in the ring, and are able
to hold pads for simple combinations. Bag combos are more complex.
Level Five: Advanced
At this level, the student can work as an assistant to the instructor,
and can hold pads for other children. Sparring is very good, and
the student may be considering the fight program.
Thai Boxing is the best thing you can do for your child!
