Course Description
Muaythai is one of the oldest martial arts in the world and ancient traditions are what distinguishes muaythai from many others sports. Wai Kru is an important part of muaythai tradition; a ritual dance accompanied by traditional music which takes roots in the old days of muaythai. Music is an integral part of Muaythai and because of it this art of self-defence has become an extension of one of Thailand’s dramatic arts. The musical instruments orchestrated in the background of the Wai Khru rituals and in the competitions consist of the Ta Pong or Glong-Kag (Two face drum), Toe Pee Java (Javanese flute) and the Ching (cymbals). Many of us can perform Ruam Muay, but how many of us can play the music?
This course provides a unique opportunity to learn the basics of playing the instruments, and to become a part of this beautiful and gracious art.
