On April 5, Lily competed at the USA Muay Thai Grand Nationals tournament, and was awarded a spot on the youth national team. The qualified members will represent our great country at the most prestigious Muay Thai youth tournament in the world, IFMA. We are committed to raising money in order to spend time training in Thailand, leading up to the tournament that takes place this September in Bangkok, Thailand.About The Workshop:
Besides her fighting abilities, Lily also has a strong background in gymnastics and dance, which has translated well into her abilities to perform the Wai Kru Ram Muay - The traditional “dance ritual" that takes place before the bout begins. In this workshop, Lily will perform the Wai Kru Ram Muay in full. Then with assistance from her coach & father, will break down the individual movements of the dance for attendees to learn and practice. Eventually, we will be able to combine movements together to perform a simple version of the Wai Kru Ram Muay.
After completion of the main segment, we will then introduce some basic skill-based movements of Muay Thai itself. This will be a light and fun introduction to the posture, footwork and basic movements of the combat art.
What is “Wai Kru?"
The Wai Kru Ram Muay is a Muay Thai ritual in which students show respect and gratitude to their teachers, parents, and ancestors. Ram is the Thai word for “dancing” in the classical style, and Muay simply means “boxing.” Literally then, this is the dance of the boxers, or boxing dance.
Pricing: $30 members / $40 non-members
