INTENSIVE COURSES
Muay Thai Intensive Courses in THAILAND
Since 2011, the Sangha Muay Thai Fighting Arts Gym has held a number of intensive courses each year, to pass on the curriculum to those students wanting to learn a truly effective Thai martial arts system.
The intensive course curriculum, when fully completed, will allow students to become certified International teachers recognized by our Muay Thai Sangha Gym and soon also by the Kru Muay Thai association in Thailand.
The entire Muay Thai Sangha Fighting Arts curriculum covers both armed and unarmed combat situations, from stand-up to ground fighting techniques, for both competition and self-defense purposes.
During the courses, the students are encouraged to face and overcome their physical and mental limitations and must complete different trials according to their abilities.
The Courses are held at the Muay Thai Sangha school, located in the heart of Northern Thailand, only 40 minutes north of Chiang Mai, in the village of Mae Taeng – a small town surrounded by mountains, next to the Sri Lanna national park.
The Intensive Courses are each taught just once a year. Early Paypal booking is necessary to reserve your space, as we receive a maximum of ten students per course.
