Like many of you in the Body Fitness Exercise Industry, I am in a state of shock and confusion about the tragic passing of the legendary Michael Jackson.

At the end of the day, no matter what happens.  The world has lost one of the greatest entertainer and song writer. NOBODY put on a better performance than him…but his music will live on forever!”

He was truly the greatest entertainer of all time. When I was young, I tell everybody when I grow up, I want to be like him…till today I still can’t do the moon walk… )

I have lots of favorite Michael Jackson songs like Thriller, Beat it, Bad, Jam, Black or White, Heal the World, Man in the Mirror and etc.

Michael Jackson has been part of our workouts routines in Les Mills Body Training Systems…

A little introduction to Nai Kha Nom Tom Ceremony, proudly presented by Muay Thai Institute

One of the most important traditions of MuayThai is “Wai Kru” (Paying respect to your parents, maters, teachers and trainers) and the philosophy which it encapsulates. Wai Kru is an ancient custom which is closely bound to the fundamental Thai concept that provides of knowledge are all teachers — and are worthy of utmost respect.

In the pecking order, the “kru yai” or headmaster. Between teachers — parents, educators, trainers or mentors — and their students a special relationship is believe to exist, one which will endure and leave a lasting impression.

Likewise, the bond between those who study under the same teacher is regarded as being parallel to kinship, so that such students refer to each other as “pee nong”, brothers and sisters.

When students seek knowledge from their teacher, they first offer symbols of respect: flowers, garlands, incense-sticks and candles.

If these seem overly religious and more suited to temple offerings, then bear in mind that monks are also teachers while in their own turn being disciple of Buddha: just two more manifestations of the core teacher-student bond.

Les Mills Body Combat at Suntec City

I was once told by an Exercise Fitness Trainer that Les Mills Body Combat has very sissy moves.  He was into real martial arts then. Anyway he has not seen other kickboxing classes where the instructor do not even have any martial art base and you can tell from the way they execute the moves. It became very aerobic and dancy in nature. I shouldn’t say it’s not right, just that it doesn’t look authentic and appealing to me…

Follow the Money

The next lesson is to go where the money is at. Check every Fitness Centers and studio in your area, find the one where you will bring home the highest rates per class and start teaching there. Take note on this one. If you live further away from a particular gym, it may not be worth the transport money and time.

Or you may lose out teaching 2 classes located near each other if you prefer to teach the further one. Do the comparison for yourself to make sure it is worth the commute.
