Preparation for Ajarn Chai Sirisute's Seminar

There will be a special class on Thurs 24 Feb from 7:30pm – 9pm in the Martial Arts Hall for those of you who are going to Ajarn Chai’s Muay Thai Seminar.

The purpose of this class is to run through some of the techniques and combinations that Ajarn Chai regularly teaches in his Seminars, and also inform you of etiquette expected at the Seminar.

You will need to make your payment of $30 (or $35, depending on whether we have at least 10 in our group) on Thurs 24 Feb so we can secure our group booking.

Once again, Ajarn Chai's Seminar on Muay Thai will be held on Sunday 27 Feb 2005 from 1pm - 4pm (it could go overtime) at Norris Bank Primary School, Settlement Road, Bundoora, Victoria.

Remember, you MUST attend in Full Uniform at the Seminar. Bring your camera if you'd like a photo with Ajarn Chai after the Seminar.

Kickboxing Club O-Week Club Table

The Kickboxing Club will have a Club Table at O-Week, where people will approach to ask questions and sign-up. We will also allow Monash Students/Staff to have a go at punching focus mitts in the area behind the Club Table so they can have a taste of what our training is like.

The Club Table will be operating on Wed 23 Feb, Thurs 24 Feb and Tues 1 Mar from 10 am - 4pm on all three days.

Monash Sport will be running competitions in the Sports Activities Area, and the Kickboxing Club will be involved in putting on some competitions, so this should add some fun and excitement to the day.

If you can make it to O-Week and help out at the Club Table, your contribution would be very much appreciated. The more people we have at the Club Table, the better the atmosphere and image of the Club. Let me know if you can make it to O-Week on 0403 171 328 or info@monashkickboxing.com

Once Semester starts, it will get a bit hectic in class because a lot of people will be signing up, so if you can sign yourselves up and pay all your Membership and Training Fees during O-Week, that'll save us a lot of time in class.

Hope to see you at O-Week

Kickboxing Club O-Week Demonstration

The Kickboxing Club Demonstration is scheduled for Wed 23 Feb 2005 at 2pm.

The Demo Team will meet at the Club Table at 1pm to warm up and run through the Demo beforehand. The Demo Team needs to make its way over to the stage 10 mins before 2pm.

For those who are wondering what the Demo will be like, it will be performed to music and involve:

• Shadow Boxing
• Focus Mitt Work
• Kicks and Knees on Kickshields
• Muay Thai techniques on our Thai pads
• Contact Sparring
• Self-Defense Scenarios (eg. hair pulling, bear hug, multiple attacker, ground attacks, and weaponry attacks).

I would encourage all Kickboxing Club Members to come along to O-Week and support the Demo Team, who have been training hard since the start of Feb to put on this Demo.
