Executive Committee

The Telford Thai Boxing Executive Committee makes all the decisions made within the club, every penny spent is passed, every trip & event is cleared by the committee before going forward.

The committee is made up of instructors, parents, students and professional people such as police officers and paramedics -  all have a vested interesting in steering the club into a brighter future.

We decided to refresh the committee, we elected a new chairman and have a great representation from every class in our club.

The committee will be meeting once a month (1st Tuesday of each month) to discuss issues surrounding the club, we invite all members of the club to put suggestions forward to any member of the committee to be discussed as any other business (AOB).

Bushcraft...

Last weekend a group of brave TTB kids headed into the woods to learn bushcraft skills.. We worked hard to create amazing bivouacs (Emergency Shelters) - we made Swiss Arrows and learned how to make pitfall traps..

To finish off the day the kids ate a picnic in one of their creations - Oh and built a great rope swing ;-)

note - all the material used for this was windfall - no trees were damaged.

Paracord Creations

Another one of our holiday school activities, we taught all the kids how to make survival bracelets using Paracord (the stuff that attaches you to a parachute) - we did several styles including names such as Sharks Tooth & Cobra Hitch.. 3 miles of Paracord later its fair to say that all of the kids had a great time!

We Love The Crocky Trail...

As part of our very successful kids holiday club we travelled to chester on the club minibus to complete the Crocky Trail - I think it is fair to say that everyone had a great time getting muddy, clambering over obstacles, crossing streams and sliding down huge slides.

If your interested in any of our holiday club activities please email telfordthaiboxing@gmail.com

Huge Interest in TTB Holiday Club!!

This years holiday club running every Monday & Friday during the school holidays is looking like selling out very fast.. The letters only went out Last Wednesday and we've already had quiet a few people registering!

Our activities are strictly limited to 14 kids per day (limited to the size of the minibus) they are incredibly cheap and include transport, fuel, entry and supervision.

Daycare and organised holiday clubs can cost over £100 per week!!! If you want in on these activities please be quick!!

BBQ and Family Funday..

Wow what a fantastic honour to take part in such a prestigious event and to be asked to showcase Muay Thai at a prestige traditional Japanese Arts event is even more of a honour!

When we arrived in Verona, Italy. We were treated to a fantastic welcome, meeting up with some friends from around the world we were treated to the Presidents reception and lovely meal..

The weekend was all about Martial Arts above is a photo of all the teachers many 8th Dan or above! 

We got to train in Karate, Jujitsu, Aikido as well as learning sword kata's and working with staff..

Next year the TaiKai event will be held in Sicily, it would be great to take a large group.. I'm even thinking about taking some of the advanced kids.....

Verona is a lovely place :-
