Rank & Progression
GRADING SYSTEM
At Phady's Muay Thai, we use the traditional Pra Jiad (armband) system to recognize student progress. Each Khan level represents a milestone earned through dedication, technique, and character.
Khan (ขั้น) is the official Thai term for "grade" or "level." Phady's Muay Thai grading system has no official relation to the KMA (Kru Muay Association) grading system in Thailand.

What Is a Pra Jiad?
A Pra Jiad is the traditional Muay Thai armband worn above the bicep during training and competition. Each colour represents a rank earned through grading — a visible symbol of a fighter's dedication, skill, and progression in the art.
Grading Fees: Testing fees vary depending on the Khan level being tested for. Fees are assessed based on the complexity of the grading, the materials provided, and the level of evaluation required. Your coach will advise you of the applicable fee when you are nominated for grading. All grading fees are due prior to the testing date.
Consistency Matters
How Fast Will You Progress?
With consistent training 3–5 times per week, most students can become fight-ready within approximately 12 to 18 months.
There is no fixed timeline for advancement — each student progresses at their own pace. What matters is genuine improvement and dedication to the art.
Training 3–5x per week
