The WBC Muay Thai Youth Cares fitness challenge seeks to engage with young people and enhance their level of fitness, wellbeing and achievement. The fitness challenge has been designed for young people aged from 6 to 15. A carefully prepared itinerary over three (3) different levels has been devised with the emphasis on fun and fitness. Group activities such as this help build friendships which can be of benefit to communities and last a life time.
Level one (1) is a one hour thirty-minute, one day class and is an introductory fitness challenge class incorporating the art of Muay Thai
Level two (2) is set out over three (3) classes of one hour fifteen minutes per class.
Level three (3) is set out over six (6) classes of one hour fifteen minutes per class.
Classes, regardless of level should have a maximum of fifteen (15) students per class. One instructor and one assistant instructor should be in attendance at all times.
At the end of each fitness challenge level, one, two and three, all students attending receive a WBC Muay Thai Youth Cares fitness challenge certificate of achievement. For level two, the students may also be presented with a WBC MuayThai silver medal, (optional). For level three students may also be presented with a WBC Muaythai gold medal and baseball cap, (optional). Medals and baseball caps may be purchased from WBC Muaythai head office, email: muaythai@wbcmuaythai.com
You may consider contacting local government authorities and business and invite them to support the fitness challenge in whatever capacity they are able to. It may also be of benefit to contact the local community police officer and ask them for support.
At the end of the challenge, (the last class) the community police officer or other invited community persons could be invited to present students with certificates. This may also be of interest to local press whom you could also invite. This would possibly afford you some free advertising and support.
It is important to stress at this point that the fitness challenge is not designed to teach young people how to fight and neither is it a competition between them, it is designed to improve the fitness and wellbeing of those attending by way of Muay Thai training techniques which we all know can be highly beneficial to one’s development.
During class levels two and three, students when ready may pair off and box using gloves and focus pads. The instructor or assistant instructor will hold suitable pads for students to practice all kicks, knees or elbows. Please be mindful that this fitness challenge is not about speed of power, it`s about movement, balance and wellbeing. This is in keeping with our duty of care.
