Ajarn Chai Sirisute Muay Thai Seminar

Ajarn (Master) Chai Sirisute is our Muay Thai Master. He is one of the most highly sought-after Muay Thai Masters in the world, and teaches Muay Thai out of the Inosanto Academy in the U.S. Ajarn Chai travels to Australia each year to spread the art of Muay Thai.

This is a great opportunity to train with a genuine Muay Thai master "in your backyard", without having to travel to Thailand.

This Seminar is highly recommended to all Kickboxing Club students who are serious about their training!

More information to follow as we get closer to the dates of the above events. Be sure to put these dates in your diary early on so you don't miss out!


Kacey Chong.
