The Thut Ti Lethwei Global curriculum is designed to provide the knowledge, technical, tactical, strategic, and cultural foundations of Thut Ti Lethwei. The curriculum includes three student grade levels that offer a systematic approach to developing the fundamental Thut Ti Lethwei Global competencies necessary to establish proficiency in Thut Ti Lethwei. To achieve the Thut Ti Lethwei proficiency, students may receive instruction from a certified Thut Ti Lethwei Global instructor one-on-one, in classes, or through a combination of the two. Learning opportunities are available in-person as well as virtually through online-based instruction. Thut Ti Lethwei Global students will also have the opportunity to supplement their personal training by attending seminars and workshops offered through Thut Ti Lethwei Global and affiliated instructors, schools, and clubs.

The Kha Zi is traditionally a small folded longyi (sarong) or simply a triangular piece of cloth that is worn around the fighter’s waist. It covers the area of the fighter’s body that is prohibited from being hit (the groin). The color of the Kha Zi may represent the fighter’s village or tribe, or it may be used to simply distinguish the fighters from each other. As an example, the fighter from red corner would tie a red “Kha Zi” while the fighter from the blue corner would tie a blue “Kha Zi” prior to their fight. Thut Ti Lethwei Global uses different color Kha Zi to represent the four student levels and four instructor levels.
