We invite you to join us as we celebrate this beautiful art through a weekend full of interactive workshops for people of all ages and skill levels. Led by the ‘father’ of Muay Thai in Canada, Ajahn (professor) Suchart Yodekerepaupri wishes to share over 40 years of Muay Thai experience with you. Ajahn Suchart and some of his finest instructors in Canada have teamed up to deliver a weekend that promises to spark the beginners mind, and challenge the most skilled practitioners.
Ajahn Suchart

• Former Northern Thailand Champion
• Professor of Muay Thai in Canada for 20+ Years
• Producing over 20 world Champions
Foundations of Traditional Muay Thai
“A tree is only as tall and strong as the depth of it’s roots”…Proficiency in Muay Thai begins with a strong knowledge of it’s origins. Originating from Military and Buddhist tradition, this workshop is dedicated to introducing and reinforcing the fundamentals of Muay Thai: Footwork, Technique, and decision making. Upon completion, students shall understand the importance of learning, and how that knowledge accelerates ones training. Open to all skill levels.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Traditional Muay Boran
Before the ring, the ropes, the gloves, and the timer, Muay Thai was more than a sport–it was a critical method of defending one’s life. Originally termed ‘Muay Boran’ (meaning ‘Ancient Way’) Ajahn Suchart and Kru Darwin take us back into time and rediscover the ways of the ancient Thai warriors as they defended their own family and land–so that we can defend our own today. Participants will hear the stories and history of the beginnings of Muay Thai and also experience the most basic techniques that make Muay Boran. Open to all skill levels
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Traditional Muay Boran Self Defense
In Muay Thai, ‘tradition’ does not necessarily mean ‘old’. In fact, the philosophies and theories of the old world are even more needed in the new world–if we know how to apply the theory. Drawing from Muay Boran foundations and principles, Ajahn Suchart will share how the traditions of a military style translate to today’s challenge. We will explore real life situations and solutions from a Muay Boran perspective. Scenarios covered, but not limited to: female self defense, grappling, multiple attackers, and weapons. Open to all skill levels.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Foundations of Krabi Krabong
What we know of Muay Thai today is an evolution from Ancient Thai Weaponry; the sword and the staff. The two weapons helped the Thai people discover a truth: that the true weapon is the human body. Come discover how the lessons of the sword and staff became the the precursor to the human weapon. Participants will learn proper footwork and movement for muay Boran and will also practice how to handle the weapons. Basic drills will be introduced. Open to all skill levels, sword and staff required.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Traditional Muay Thai Padwork
A pillar of Muay Thai training, ‘pad holding’ has been a portion of Muay Thai that every serious Combat Athlete incorporates into their training. True pad holding is an art and a craft in itself. If done properly, the student understands not how to hit ‘pads’ but rather hit ‘targets’. This workshop is designed to give students the basic understanding of how to effectively hold pads for partners, and how to properly hit pads. The goal is to be able to sharpen ones weapons of Muay Thai: The Punch, Kick, Elbow and Knee. Open to all skill levels, bring your own pads if you have.

Great Article!
If I could write like this I would be well chuffed
The more I read articles of such quality as this (which is rare), the more I think there might be a future for the Web. Keep it up, as it were.
The design for http://www.training-ground.com/2010/03/torontos-first-authentic-muay-thai-expo/ is a bit off in Opera. Nevertheless I like your website. I may have to install a “normal” browser just to enjoy it.
Thanks for the feedback!
A colleague recommended that I take a look at your site. I’m happy that I’m here.
thanks for that
Lots of Good information in your posting, I bookmarked your blog post so I can visit again in the near future, Cheers
Have just turned back from a fantastic trip to Koh Samui, stayed at Palm Beach Inn in the northern part which is less busy than Chaweng Beach, superior hotel and awesome beaches. We rented a cycle for only 800 baht per day and would drive around the general area. So many tremendous places to eat, our cherished restaurant was Sweet n Spicy which had the most marvelous view over the beach, the staff was rather nice and the food so yummy, we would go for sunrise cocktails. My wife and I had a wonderful time in Koh Samui and will be back for Songkran.
The food on Samui Island is delicious and not expensive, all the locals we met were very friendly and eager to advice use. We stayed at Nirvana Thai- a completely different place to the busy tourist trap in Chaweng.
would it be possible to translate your website into spanish because i have difficulties of speaking to english, and as there are not many pictures on your website i would like to read more of what you are writting.
i may not have imagined this was neat one or two years ago yet somehow its interesting precisely how time shifts the method by which you have an understanding of unusual ideas, many thanks for the blog post it happens to be pleasing to go through some thing clever now and then instead of the ordinary garbage mascarading as blogs and forums on the web, i’m off to enjoy a few rounds of zynga poker, cheers
I’m sorry, but a translation into Spanish would not be possible at this time. I encourage you to try to find a resource in your language though and continue your training!
Hello! kedkdfd interesting kedkdfd site!
Keep up the good work on the website – love it
Been to Koh Samui a couple of times now, first time was in April 2002, then back at New Year 2010. What a fantastic holiday place! It caters for everybody: if your looking for well-meaning locals there is masses of them,if you want well-thought-of thai food there is a great deal and nightlife is outstanding. If you want a low-cost vacation, you can have it – if you require an pricey holiday, you can have it as well. My dad is really in love with the place and has just bought into a massage shop over there. My kids love it too. What a wonderful place to celebrate New Year!
