No "Kickboxing" in Thailand?

One great resource for Muay Thai news straight from Thailand is Muaymag.com

You can find a lot of reports and results for high profile fights here.

Anyways, this particular article is just one I found interesting. Basically, the sports minister does not want to allow kickboxing sanctioned in Thailand.

As found on Muaymag.com <http://muaymag.com/kickboxing/sport-minister-wants-no-kickboxing-for-thailand.html>:



"Thailand’s sports minister says he will not allow the sport authorities to certify the “Kickboxing Association of Thailand”.

Minister of Tourism and Sports Chumpol Silpa-archa, in a meeting of the Sport Authority of Thailand (SAT) board on April 9 in Bangkok, said he personally opposes the establishment of the “Kickboxing Association of Thailand” that will require a registration with the SAT, and said he will specifically disallow use of the word “of Thailand” in the name. He claimed that the kickboxing sport has “copied” muaythai.

In the board meeting, the minister has appointed Suphanburi Governor Somsak Phurisrisak as a SAT board member replacing Worawee Magudee who resigned from his post. The board has also approved an annual budget of 42 million Baht for the SAT and has decided to set up an evaluation committee that will monitor the works of 52 sport associations under the SAT.

The minister said the evaluation would promote transparency of operation and development of sport, while determining the amount of budget each association would receive from the SAT.

In addition, the board has increased the salary of SAT Governor Kanokpan Jullakasem to about 190,000 Baht per month for his performance evaluation score of 93 out of 100. The board has also approved the SAT plan to request for 8.3 billion Baht from the government."

Siam Woodbridge Drop in Classes for Seniors

As most of you know, a select few of the fighters/seniors were offered the chance to train at Siam no1 Woodbridge for the weekend as Tait is closed. However, in a spell of douchebaggery, some of us had plans come up and did not tell Kru until it was too late (well, I'm speaking as if it were all of us, which is not be the case. But anyways...)

So, this is just a notice for any of the other seniors who were offered and plan to go that the regular drop in fee is in order. As well, an apology from myself and whoever else to Kru, who always works to keep us training.

Just a reminder for all of us that it is our responsibility to keep her informed about our training, availabilities etc, (ex. if we are going to be missing a session) and especially when she is trying to give us special arrangements to go elsewhere to train.

Some people send me msgs since I may be easier to contact (if you see me on campus or post on facebook). However, please try to reach Kru directly first, or at least carbon copy her on any msgs you send me regarding training.

Anyways it looks like its going to be great weather to run.

Happy long/Easter weekend.

Tait Closed for Long Weekend

NO class this weekend. The Tait building itself is closed, so nothing is open. Have a great long weekend/ Easter/ whatever you celebrate, if anything at all.
