Waikru Muaythai

IMAC Dojo's Wai Kru Muay Thai course is designed for students who want to learn the art of Wai Kru Muay Thai systematically. It covers Muay Thai fundamentals, movement, Muay Thai weapons, defense, Mai Khru for fighting, and Wai Kru dance performed correctly according to the art. ¶ The course has two main programs to suit each group of students' goals: the Standard Wai Kru Muay Thai Program and Wai Kru Muay Thai for Performance. • Standard Wai Kru Muay Thai Program • Wai Kru Muay Thai for Performance

This course was developed by Khru Muay Thai Nareepas Supapitakpong. It emphasizes step-by-step learning, clear levels, and assessment according to the school's standards.

At each level, students train the core elements in sequence: the basics, stance and movement, Muay Thai weapons, defense, Mai Khru for fighting, and Mae Mai and Luk Mai Muay Thai, through to the Wai Kru poses for that stage.

Students train through each level in sequence and take an assessment to pass each stage. After passing, students receive a certificate from IMAC Dojo and can continue to the next level.

This program is designed for students who want to use Wai Kru Muay Thai skills in performances, stage work or cultural presentations, emphasizing correctness, beauty, suitability for the performer and fit with the performance time. It suits students preparing solo or group performances, ceremonies, school events, cultural events or other special occasions. The performance program selects content to suit the student, the type of event and the performance time, while keeping the correct foundations of Muay Thai and the Wai Kru poses.

Students in the standard program must take an assessment against each level's criteria. The assessment fee is 500 THB per test, and the test date and time can be booked at the student's convenience. Training attire starts with an IMAC Dojo T-shirt and pants suitable for movement.

Wai Kru Muay Thai is a way to show respect to teachers, family, lineage, and the Thai martial tradition.

It is not only a performance before a fight.

Students learn the meaning behind movement, posture, direction, and rhythm.

Understanding the meaning helps the Wai Kru look natural and respectful.

The course keeps the cultural context clear for Thai and international learners.

Training starts from posture, hand position, stepping, kneeling, standing, and controlled transitions.

Students learn how to move with balance rather than only copying shapes.

The body line, eye direction, hand placement, and timing are corrected carefully.

This helps children, beginners, and performers build clean movement quality.

The class can adjust intensity for age and experience.

The standard curriculum is divided into nine levels so students can progress step by step.

Each level adds movement, weapons, defense, Mai Khru, Mae Mai, Luk Mai, and Wai Kru forms.

The level structure helps students know what to practice and what to review.

It also supports assessment and certification through IMAC Dojo.

Students who already have experience can ask about placement assessment.

Wai Kru depends on rhythm and calm breathing.

Students learn how to listen to the music and move with suitable timing.

Breathing helps control posture, emotion, and balance.

The class trains rhythm slowly before adding expression.

This makes the performance more composed and less rushed.

Wai Kru training is connected to Muay Thai knowledge, not separated from it.

Students learn how basic weapons, defensive ideas, Mae Mai, and Luk Mai relate to the ceremony and movement.

This gives the course more depth than memorizing a dance sequence.

It also helps fighters and teachers explain the art with better context.

The connection is taught according to each student's goal.

Students who need Wai Kru for stage, school, cultural events, or media work can train with a performance goal.

The instructor can adjust movement length, difficulty, formation, and rhythm.

For group performance, timing and spacing are carefully prepared.

For solo performance, the class focuses on expression, detail, and confidence.

The goal is a respectful performance that fits the occasion.

Fighters who need Wai Kru before a match can train the order, meaning, and presentation in a practical way.

The class helps the student prepare a sequence that fits the ring setting.

Movement should be confident, respectful, and not too long for the event.

Students learn how to stay focused before the fight.

The training can be adjusted for age, competition rules, and experience.

Children can use Wai Kru training to build focus, respect, coordination, and cultural understanding.

Adults can use it to study Thai culture and improve movement quality.

International learners can understand why the ceremony matters before learning the sequence.

Teachers can deepen their explanation and class structure.

The course adjusts language, pace, and detail to the learner.

Students in the standard program take an assessment at each level.

The test fee is 500 THB per assessment.

When students pass, they receive a certificate from IMAC Dojo and can continue to the next level.

Assessment helps keep progress clear and prevents students from skipping important foundations.

Students should ask LINE Official before scheduling a test.

Wai Kru Muay Thai is mainly arranged as a private class so the teacher can adjust content to the student's goal.

Available time can vary, so booking through LINE Official is recommended.

Students should share age, experience, purpose, and preferred schedule.

The school can then recommend the right class format.

Private training is suitable for culture study, performance, competition, or teacher development.
