What is Muay Thai? Expand

Muay Thai is a very practical and lethal martial art that originated in Thailand. It has evolved into a growing combat sport.  Muay Thai is a stand-up fighting sport that allows for punches, elbows, knees and kicks. Sweeping and “dumping” your opponent is also permitted. Muay Thai is an excellent way to learn stand-up self-defense and enhance one’s self and spiritual awareness.

What is arnis? Expand

Like Muay Thai, arnis was originally developed as a form of self-defense. Arnis originated in the Philippines with varying opinions about the exact root. Farmers used to use their bladed grass cutting tool called a “bolo” to defend themselves against Spanish invaders and other intruders who committed genocide on the islands. Today, arnis has evolved into the national sport of the Philippines and is predominantly taught first with rattan sticks. The stick is said to be an extension of the hand. There are many different schools of arnis. The lineage that is taught at Sister Fit comes from Grandmaster Benjamin Luna Lema, founder of  LESKAS/LSAI and Grandmaster Mang Fil V. Buena, founder of Buena Mano self-defense systems.

How “private” is the facility? Expand

The facility is VERY private. The entrance to the facility is monitored and highly secure. There are no men on site and no possibility of viewing from the passing public. No Peeping Toms! 

Will there be music playing? Expand

There will be non-offensive music sometimes playing at the facility.

How many classes can I attend? Expand

You can attend the classes that are suited to your level of fitness and skill. You must pass your assessment before moving on to the next level of programming.

Do I get a certificate or a belt? Expand

Upon your assessment and grading, you will receive a certificate of completion. There are no belt rankings in Muay Thai, boxing, or our style of arnis.

Can I bring my young children? Expand

There are specific classes for kids and teens coming soon. Otherwise, classes are for adult women.

Is there childcare on-site? Expand

Currently, there is no childcare on site.

“In other parts of the world physical activity i “In other parts of the world physical activity is linked to spirituality and culture.

In Thailand, Muay Thai – their national sport and also the deadly martial art – is seen as a spiritual and religious practice for Thai people.

In Korea, Taekwondo is a very important part of the heritage as well as a form of cultural and spiritual preservation, much like the importance of Kung-Fu in Chinese culture.

It’s quite common for these practitioners to pray in their dojos, which are essentially cultural gyms.”

Sister Fit was excited to support the Run for Pale Sister Fit was excited to support the Run for Palestine event this year…

We were contacted to provide fitness support for participants of the run.

Coach Tai Salih provided a video with prep tips for the run, and would be providing a live warm up session on the day of the run.

We were told the video was problematic because of the mention of LGBTQ + people at the end. 

We were also asked to provide a brief blurb about our organization. 

We were told by organizers that mentioning that our services include serving the LGBTQ+ community was a concern. 

We believe in humanitarian causes and helping those who have suffered oppression.

But when we are told that our existence as an organization would disturb some people…

That it would be better if we edited our identity to make other people more comfortable…

That our brand identity that includes serving LGBTQ+ people would be best kept unsaid to keep the peace (whatever that means)…

We can no longer provide our labour, expertise, and support to organizations where we are not permitted to simply exist.

LGBTQ+ people have always been treated like pollution - especially in the Middle East and in Muslim communities.

This discriminatory attitude has been able to survive for so long because people are afraid to address it.

When you have faced oppression, it is even more imperative that you are vigilant about your own actions and how they oppress others. 

We do not have the right to oppress someone else without repercussions.

We remain committed to advocating for the rights of those who are oppressed and will continue to ally ourselves with organizations that share an inclusive vision.
