"The book", January 5, 2007
This review is from: Muay Thai: The Most Distinguished Art of Fighting (9th Re-Print, Revised Edition)
I bought this book in a local market in Pataya Beach, Thailand. The locals all gathered around as I bought "the book". The author wrote it as a pledge to his teacher who "imparted (to me) all his knowledge of Thai boxing."
Great overview of Muay Thai: Origins, Initiation Ceremony, Daily Training, Warming up, massage, exercises, weight reduction, targets on the body, boxing tactics, equiptment, wraping the hands, thai boxing musical instruments, physical and social values, guard and movements, Wai Khruu dance. The techniques are broken down into chapters: fists, elbows, knees, and feet.
