Thai, or Thai boxing, is one of the most exciting forms of
the martial arts. Muay Thai traces the development of the
art - the "Most Distinguished Art of Fighting" -
from its beginnings to modern times and its spread worldwide.
The book provides valuable advice on choosing a school and
the etiquette and traditions involved in becoming a student

(respect to teacher) and Ram Muay (ritual dance), through
the basic techniques of punching, elbow, knee and clinching
and kicking and on to advanced master and complimentary tricks,
this manual attempts to answer every question a new student
of the art might ask. The book also looks at Muay Thai's effectiveness
as a system of self-protection using the tried and tested
methods in use today as a truly awesome contact sport. Finally
this manual will cover diet and weight loss, mental and physical
preparation for competing in Muay Thai bouts, a summary of
the rules, number of rounds and the scoring of bouts.
