Muay Thai and Kickboxing training has become known as the ultimate training workout. A basic class in Muay Thai consists of a Warm-up, Skipping, Stretching, Pushups and Sit-ups, Pad work, Technique Work, Shadow Sparring, Partner Drills and Sparring. The pad work training is to develop striking power and focus, the sparring drills to develop attack and defence strategies and touch contact sparring to enhance your mobility, timing and reflexes. A typical class provides the student with a great overall workout, which is why many students enjoy the benefits of Muay Thai kickboxing classes.
Our organisation (BJC) was the first group to import and promote Thai Boxing in Australia. BJC Muay Thai provides students with a system that provides effective self-defence applications combined with competitive and sporting components. The syllabus also includes a grading system, similar to the system used in most martial arts. This grading system is used to distinguish between the various levels attained by individual students. The grading system also provides students with feedback on their progress and development whilst also providing them with achievable goals. Muay Thai grades are recognizable by the colour of the singlet that the student wears.
