(Duble click on images for enlarge)

IKKA is an association born in the 1992 to the purpose of promote in international level the practises of three Thai disciplines:
  • The Krabi Krabong, with his part to hands naked call commonly Mae Never Muay Thai;
  • The Massage traditional Nuat Paen Boran, that is similar to the Shiatzu for beginnings
    and philosophy;
  • The Vipassanà Meditation tied to the tradition of the Buddhism Theravada.
These disciplines come divulge through Courses, Seminars, Stages and Lessons that they come programmed year for year and they come kept for the more to Vicenza, but, if in demand, also in any part from Italy or of the World. the teaching has taken care of from
the Wongwisut Teachers Dr. Pimchanok and Valerio Zadra, whose curriculum could be consulted in the section "Teachers."
For he/she/it/you as concerns the Martial Art, the IKKA is an emanation of the Sritrairatana Fencing Club of the Teacher Thonglor Trairat and is under the aegis of the Thai Sports Association, the government corporate body designated from the Office of the Thai Education to the popularization of the traditional disciplines of the Country. The Thai Sports Association, besides, is under the patronage of the king and that organize each year in March the Worlds Championships of the discipline Krabi Krabong, in which full hundreds of deriving students is measured in fights to contact from all the Country and from most varied schools.

The Krabi Krabong practised in the IKKA is of the Sritrairat School, a traditional school that has taken care of itself exclusively of the real fight to the white weapon and to naked hands, developing continually to his inside the techniques of the Mae Never Muay Thai
(traditional Boxe Thailandese), not for make it effective on the [ring], but for make it lethal in the extreme conflict, in which there gambles away the life. Not at random the Teacher Thonglor Trairat has stayed select for train the fight body to body the departments of the Special Strengths of the Army, of the Navy and of the Police (of
which he also train the officials tops and the departments of the strengths anti-revolt), as well as the same Real Watch.
The didactic programs of the discipline that we teach in the IKKA comes, are exactly the I/you stay that they come taught also to the Special Bodies and I/they am that's why recommended to all those people that for determined motives is particularly exposed to
the danger: military, watches of the body, police, [etc]., but also to all those people that looks for an in the Martial Art sharpens tool of personal defense. The practises is adjust to all: men, women, children of each age, and he/she/it/you comes turn in gyms with the maximum attention for the physical integrity and the safety of the students, also if the selection and the qualitative in demand standards for whoever want to become instructor, they stay tall. E,' [quest'ultima], a choice [doverosa] from the moment that all the degrees released from the IKKA are valid also in Sritrairat Fencing Club in Thailand, and it is our desire make see the equivalence between the preparation that a Thai in country receives and what you receives an analogous European in our continent. We retain besides that a tall degree of preparation is the best possible publicity for the promotion of the Krabi Krabong in a world by now saturated of most disparate Martial Arts, everyone of which presented like the "better."
A last explanation concerns the gradation is not true that in Thailand in the Schools of Muay Thai use instead of the colored belts the Kruang Ruang. E' only a federation amateur to use this system. In Thailand each school one rule to way his, greatly they don't have degrees of any type, other they instead use coats of arms of different colors to sharpen on the breast, other most usual colored belts.
For practicality the IKKA has used most diffused graduation with colored belts, firm staying the value purely symbolic and conventional of such system.
The approved choice from the Thai Sports Association and from the Sritrairat Fencing Club, you follows this staircase therefore: white, yellow, brown, green, orange, blue, violet, red, black. The program didactic degree for degree could be consulted in the section "Programs." On the Krabi Krabong, for interest or bad faith, have stayed said and writings the more disparate belongingses, the reality is that he is not a static and crystallized discipline: it is an art in continuous evolution, an art that continues to be practiced above all for the his merciless effectiveness in the duels to full contact without rule. An art where a small error could provoke serious consequences and that's why am in demand discipline and devotion. An art to which those people doesn't address that they practise sporting Boxe Thailandese, because his techniques apply in competition they would carry to serious lesions and easily deadly the adversary.
Those people is not that they fear the hardness of the trainings of Muay Thai to I practise Krabi Krabong, very harder and dangerous, but those people to which /it don't interest the sporting appearance of the Martial Art and they require [invec] something
more rapid, brutal, violent and decisive; something that only a Warlike Art, born to the only purpose of win to each cost, can give them. Anybody has write of the stupidities on a presumed influence of the Japanese arts (like the Kendo) on the Krabi Krabong. Do I have told it, for joke to my Teachers in Thailand, but don't they have laughed at all, from the moment that the Japanese have not ever stayed too in the likings of the thai people: "But from the," do they have answered me, "do you know it that does the industrial espionage have invented them? Instead is the Japanese that imitate from us, also the Kickboxing is not that a copying japanese of the Muay Thai."
Afar from the will be prosaic, we invite all the lovers of the Martial Arts to participate to at least a seminar of this discipline, so that power do an opinion alone and stop it of base on the" felt tell." The truth is that very very few people in the world to know the Krabi
Krabong really and the inferences are only deterrent tool for hold distant a discipline that could do until too much proselytes.
