2.0 out of 5 stars Singto, 30 Jun 2006

By	R. S. Rudkin "Singto" (Cambridge, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For a first timer looking into the Art of Muay Thai this is the wrong place to look, for someone who is involved in Kickboxing looking to explore Muay Thai, then yes this is the book for you. This book is an acceptable addition to your library, no doubt techniques you learn here will be corrected when you actualy attend a Muay Thai class. The weight training section here is good and can be used for both Kickboxing and Muay Thai.
