Muay Thai - A Living Legacy by Kat Prayukvong and Lesley D. Junlaken
New Second Edition Forward by Ajarn Chai President Thai Boxing Association of U.S.A. For me, any book that helps to spread Thai boxing is a good book, but this one, I have to say, is really pretty special. It is strong both on photos and text: lots of pictures make it easy to understand and the explanations not only about the different techniques but also the cultural background are detailed and clearly presented. It is instructional and contains all anyone could wish to know about the basics of Thai boxing. In other words, it is a pretty good book for anyone interested in Muay Thai. Ajarn Chai, (Surachai Sirisute)President Thai Boxing Association of U.S.A. Muay Thai as it has never been presented before ...

Finally... a book on Muay Thai which is elegant enough for the coffee-table, practical enough for the sports hold-all and erudite enough for the book-shelf. Lavishly illustrated and with a detailed text, this is the first in a projected series of three volumes, catering for the needs of beginners and advanced Muay Thai fighters alike, as well as appealing to those more interested in Muay Thai's cultural and ritual aspects.
