Merry Fitmas = games, chaos, laughs & tunes🎄🔥
Limbo battles.
Balance wars.
Shadowboxing showdowns.
Handwrap chaos.
Karaoke at the end because… obviously.
This is what happens when you mix Muay Thai + community + festive energy — and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Big congrats to all our game winners
And massive respect to everyone who showed up and made 2025 a year of gains 💪
We’re open right through summer, so no excuses — and if you’re keen for one more hang before Christmas, we’ve got our:

We won Grand National Best Performer. Sure @kalyani_swag_lord was the performer, but really, it was @los_potato 's marrionetting from the keyboard. 🤣
Thanks to my awesome team for a fun 48hours this year that led us to winning best regional short film, best director, and best performer. You all made this happen. @sarajxchen@los_potato@renelebas@howdoiact@kalyani_swag_lord@lningja@hendrikusdevaan@jiao_henry@aidanburridgevisuals@ellenmariejp@reds.stuntwork@itisdoubledot@spicyhondog@punkpeony@skyduckvoyager@mustaqmissouri Taffy.
Special shoutout to @discohairsalon in Morningside (Final scene was set in their hair saloon!) and @joey_siasoco for his sound gear.
Thanks to @h0reb3s for keeping it real with me every year. We talked about the other Auckland shorts, which ones she liked, and didnt. Her punchline to me was 'At least they had plot.' 🤣🤣🤣
Also, most of you would have been aware of already, but if you havent, my composers were attacked after the Regional Finals and are dealing with the aftermath of that, both physically and emotionally. If you are able to donate, that would be appreciated, if not, a share of the link would be perfect. Otherwise, do something nice for yourself this long weekend. :)

Get ready... because it's time to find out who has the goodest boy or girl in our community! We are officially launching the JAI Top Dog Competition! 🐾🏆
From your feeds, the occasional gym visit, and all the proud fur-parent bragging, we KNOW you guys are obsessed with your dogs (as you should be!).
We also know our gym isn't always the best place for them – think noisy, stompy, and clumsy humans!
So, we thought it was time to create a special day where you can finally show off your amazing fur kids, and we can all get some much-needed puppy cuddles and socialize together.
Swipe across to see how you can enter your furry friend for a chance to win ultimate bragging rights (and some awesome prizes!).
The ultimate JAI Top Dog will be crowned at our Dog Day Party on Sunday, August 31st at 3 PM! Plus, there will be free treats for all dogs who come to the party to celebrate.
Let the games begin!
