4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent book for beginners,
This review is from: Thai Boxing Dynamite: The Explosive Art Of Muay Thai (Paperback)
This book describes all the basic techniques in detail, but tapers off when explaining advanced techniques like jumping round kicks and knees. It has VERY concise explanations of the front kick (foot jab) and round kick. The elbow sections are dated, but informative. This book is from 1987, and most of the material has not been updated on the "westernization" of Thai boxing. Jab, Cross, Hook is NOT covered. The author has the habit of writing an introductory paragraph on a technique, a few lines on execution, and then a piece on fighting application. Most of the sections really should be expanded. This book has excellent pictures and background information. The summary of the training routine is excellent. You could easily set up a program with a partner using this book. Overall, taking into account the shortage of material on Muay Thai, I would recommend this book to the beginner. Don't fool yourself, though. You MUST have an instructor to learn Muay Thai!

Great Book for an Introduction to Muay Thai,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Thai Boxing Dynamite: The Explosive Art Of Muay Thai (Paperback)
This book is definitely worth the price! It shows many shots from the famous Muangsurin Muay Thai Camp in Thailand. The fighters in the pictures demonstrate many of the basic Muay Thai techniques. The author's description to the pictures are short and to the point. Real fight shots from Bangkok are also presented to show that the techniques shown are battle-tested in some of the toughest rings in the world. No book can substitute an instructor, but this book does provide a foundation so that you will understand your instructors better if you decide to get into Muay Thai. Visit my website for more information on Muay Thai and obtain this book to get started. For the relatively low price, this book will not disappoint you. I hate to sound like I'm advertising this book, but I personally believe that it was a good buy - and I've been covering the Muay Thai scene for a while now.

The Explosive Art of Muay Thai,
By jreece@dollar.com (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Thai Boxing Dynamite: The Explosive Art Of Muay Thai (Paperback)
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
