Minnesota Drill Rounds

Originally coined by the Minnesota Kali Group, these Drill Rounds are an extremely demanding
and challenging way to improve your endurance and efficiency in the art of Muay Thai. By rotating the
part of the body used, Fighters can last longer and train harder. By alternating leads during each
round, the Fighter balances the demands they are putting on their body, avoiding over use, injury and
muscular imbalance. Guidelines for Drill Rounds are as follows:
- Each Drill Round is 3 Minutes in Duration
(sometimes longer)
- Rest Period between each Round is 1 Minute
long
- At the Top of each Rest Interval
the Fighter Begins Kicking, Striker Performs 3
Kicks per side, alternating for a total of 48
Kicks, the remaining time is left to recover
before the next round
- Combinations follow the following Pattern,
which cycles every 5 rounds:
1
J - C Round
3
Elbow, Knee, Kick Rounds
1
Free Kicking Round
- For the J - C Rounds
the Fighter cycles through the entire
J - C Series (listed above)

- For the Elbow - Knee - Kick Rounds

the Fighter cycles through:
2-3
Elbow Drills in both leads
2-3
Knee Drills in both leads
3-4
Kicking Drills in both leads
- For the Free Kicking Round
the Pad Holder advances on the Fighter
checking their guard and holding for a random
number of kicks from both sides for the
duration of the round. Pad Holder leads the
Fighter.
- Students should work up to the capacity for 20
rounds (1 hour and 20 minutes of pad work),
to become part of the 1 Hour Club.

Appendix B: Technique - Short Hand Notation Guide

The following are suggestions for a specific type of shorthand notation for describing
combinations and technical flows in striking and in movement. Many of these terms go beyond the
scope of Kickboxing, but many are useful so I have listed the ones we most commonly use. The
objective of these abbreviations are to save time in note taking during classes, private lessons and
seminars. At Sage Arts Unlimited, we often use these abbreviations to save space during classes. Feel
free to use the ones that are most useful to you, or even make up your own.

Thai-Boxing Association Beginning Diploma Thai-Boxing Test

Testing Format
By Rudy Rogers
4/2005

The Thai-Boxing Association (TBA), Beginning Diploma Thai-Boxing Test, given by the TBA head Ajarn
(Master) Chai Sirisute, consists of 2 parts:
1. Form and Technique assessment and
2. Execution and Conditioning section.
You can be sure that if you are strong in one area you will be scrutinized heavily in the other. So it is
best to go slowly and thoroughly in your preparation for the event to become as balanced as you can in
both areas.
You will be expected to know the following:
Thai-boxing basic techniques
Ram-Muay (Wai Kru Paying respects to teacher) pre-fight dance and
The 15-count at the least (out of 16, 17, and 18-counts)
The testing format will most likely go as follows although, it has been known to change slightly from year to year.
Under Form and Technique Assessment:
You will be asked to display your Boxing shadow-boxing
You will be asked to display your Muay-Thai (Thai-boxing) shadow-boxing
You will be asked to display Thai-boxing Basic Techniques
You will be asked to perform Ram-Muay
*Not necessarily in this order
Under Execution and Conditioning:
You will prepare for your conditioning rounds by gloving-up, meaning that you will put on your groin/breast
protector, mouth-guard, head-gear (if cleared by Ajarn Chai beforehand), hand wraps, and boxing gloves.
You will have to get through 2-3minute rounds with a 2minute rest in between. Your holder will glove-up by
wearing shin-guards, groin/breast protector, mouth guard, belly-pad, and Thai-pads.
It is a general rule that a different instructor from another school will hold your conditioning rounds.
The goal for the conditioning test is 60 KICKS and 40 KNEES. Your holders job is to try and stop you from
meeting your goal by kicking, foot jabbing, or using the Thai-pads to box you. So be prepared for contact!
YOU ARE NOT TO HIT YOUR HOLDER AT ANYTIME! If you doBEWARE!
If you show disrespect or dis-regard and anytime during your test your rounds may be made more
challenging and/or you may not receive your diploma.
Your first round will be more or less a warm up round. The second will be for real. Your kicks and knees will be
counted for both rounds. There will be 2 people to count kicks and 2 people to count knees. The lowest
number between the two sets of counters for both rounds will be recorded.
Have fun, train hard and good luck!
