iMAES System; The standard WMC/IFMA Muaythai Curriculum, launched at IFMA Royal World Cup 2015 in Bangkok during 13-23 August 2015.
Having been developed for over 3 years, iMAES (iGLA Muaythai Animation Education System) was launched officially at IFMA Royal World Cup 2015 during 13-23 August 2015. There were 3 parts of launching programs. The first one, conducted on 17 August, was the presentation of iMAES curriculum including curriculum guideline, e-leaning via portal, subscribing method, and animated showcase of master techniques to the participants. The seminar room was full of interested participants with Q&A at the end for audience to understand clearly about the curriculum.
The second program, launched on 18 August, was the first training of iMAES curriculum from 3 famous Khru Muaythai, Master Meuangchai Kittikasem, Master Chalee Khuntaree, and Master Dr. Chao Wathayotha.Three masters divided participants into 3 groups and started to train Muaythai with iMAES curriculum in 3 separate groups. Several participants were amazed with techniques that they learned from these masters and had never known before. Masters informed them that those master techniques were already categorized in 9 khans (levels) with over hundreds of animated movements in iMAES curriculum so those who adopted iMAES can learn Muaythai faster and a lot easier. All 3 masters got a big round of applause at the end of the training. The training shows that using iMAES as a tool and guideline to compliment Khru Muaythai to train their students is very efficient and utmost necessary.
