CONGRATULATIONS to our Muay Thai students who graded to their new levels on Sunday. Students in our Kids program participated in a 1 hour test, while our Teens/Adult students graded for almost 3 hours. It was a great morning of skill and teamwork across the test.
WHAT WE TESTED:
KIDS – Were tested on their offence, defence and counter attack drills that they have been practicing in class. They participated in some bag work and pad work with our trainers.
TEENS/ADULTS BEGINNERS – Were tested on their offence, defence and counter attack drills. Students participated in parter drills, bag work and pad work. There was also bodyweight strength training involved in the test.
TEENS/ADULTS INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED – Were tested on their offence, defence and counter attack with live drills. In this one parter would throw a series of offensive attacks while the partner would work on their defensive drills. There was also additional partner drills, bag work and pad work. Bodyweight strength training was also included.
WHY WE TEST:
Like all skill based activities, learning in ‘chunks’ of information makes it easier to process and remember. With our Muay Thai program a Syllabus ensures students can progress in skill while being able to mentally and physically handle these smaller chunks of information. In doing so it ensures progression of skill and fitness.
Our final Muay Thai Grading will be held in Weeks 8 and 9 for those who missed out. Well done Team.
