There is a good movement towards stronger Muay Thai in Ontario and this was witnessed in Iowa. I am proud of everyone for their work. We must continue to improve our skill and our knowledge and we must maintain proper, traditional Muay Thai.
I would like everyone to reserve the late morning and early afternoon July 10th to attend this seminar to continue to grow and learn and to support one another in the community. As the sport grows, we must keep the sport beautiful and strong.
I want my experienced Kru there and your developing Poo Choi there. This is team building. The focus will be to develop experienced teaching -- more proper technique and exercise. Beyond this we must review the UNDERSTANDING behind these techniques and excercises. This is what makes you qualified, traditional Muay Thai instructors. Everyone has levels to achieve.
This seminar will consist of theory and discussion. Come with questions that are at your level of understanding. Then we will explore practical so you can show your level.
I want to move everyone forward, to improve their level so we can be a better, stronger Ontario team.
Registration fee: $45 (please cash only on the day of the seminar) Time: 10:00am - 2:00pm
RSVP directly to me info@siamno1.com so I can prepare a list and Mark will prepare the certificates for you before the seminar date.
