Rating: Summary: A Muay Thai Guide Review: This is a good book to introduce you to the culture and history of Thai boxing. There are explinations of techniques and an explination of how to generate power. This book seems to be intended more like a documentary into the world of Thai boxing more than a how-to guide. Shots are from Thailand and make the book interesting.While the techniques of this sport have been assimilated into NHB, striking, and self-defense areas and are used by fighters/martial artists who are not into the culture this book is a great reminder of where the techniques originated.
Rating: Summary: The Explosive Art of Muay Thai Review: This is an excellent resource book for the basics of Muay Thai boxing. The photographs are clear and give detailed examples of techniques. Based on the fact that it is difficult to find any literature on the art of Thai Boxing, I recommend this book for any enthusiasts library. If you are looking for any thing other than basics, this is not the book, and the chances of finding such a book without actual Muay Thai instruction is pretty slim. Overall 4 stars
