Whatever we say, we always aim for the victory!
Especially if it is a martial arts fight. Nowadays Muay Thai, MMA and K-1 are the clear favorites among the professional fights shows. Thus the first volume (part) of the “Encyclopedia of fight” tells about Muay Thai.
There are two versions of this book – the full one (~400 pgs) and the reducted, promotional version (~100 pgs). This is the reducted version.
This book is a classical and fullest studying guide for Thai boxing. From the moment of its first edition more than 20 years ago, this book has become the tutorial for many generations of Thai boxers, and it is quoted in nearly all texts about Muay Thai.
You see here the 6th edition of the book, and during the time passed, the material was significantly re-worked and enlarged. The book covers almost all sides of the subject: history, traditions, technique, methods, personalities and rules of Thai boxing. The newcomers to Thai boxing world can use this book for better understanding of the technique, while experienced Thai boxers can use it as helping guide.
The important feature of this book is illustration of theoretical material with “live” pictures from my personal archive that were gathered by me during more than 25 years of fights organization (Muay Thai, MMA, K-1). This allows not only to study the basic skills, but also to see their use in a tense atmosphere of the fight. On many pictures, you will see the boxers who are now legendary, but at a time, just like you, they were getting nervous before their first professional fight.
Many documents and pictures are published for the first time.
I will be glad if this book will help you at least a little bit to succeed in severe and beautiful world of martial arts!
