Muay Thai: The Footwork (Black and White Edition): The Secret to Learning the Art of 8 Limbs Paperback – 10 Mar. 2018

I like every bit of it. Its difficult to find an English written book on muay thai by a proper Thai instructor. This book certainly does the job in having you realize how important the footwork really is.

It provides the basics in for beginners

I want to learn more and more about Muay Thai now. Very happy that I could read this book. Buy it asap it's worth it.

I wouldn't say this book is completely useless. It might be useful as a foundational technique book for absolute beginners. I would class myself as an advanced beginner, not quite intermediate, and this book taught me almost nothing new. The writing style is very dry and instructional, a lot of what and how with very little in the way of why and when. Even then, there's a lot of skipping over details of techniques. There is a chapter at the end on counters and combinations which provides some real fighting tips, but it seems like an afterthought. I feel like this could've been a better book if it was structured differently and maybe a more personable writing style with anecdotes based on the author's experience.

This book is brilliant for someone starting out on their Muay Thai journey or even someone like me who's been training for a while. It's the best book I've read on this subject, giving a clear and coherent structure to the footwork of Muay Thai and the subsequent advantages of mastering the absolute basics. Yes it covers the strikes etc like so many books but what marks this book out from the others is the clarity the author brings to the subject. I would highly recommend this book to beginner/intermediate fighters.

It doesn't matter which martial arts or boxing/kickboxing style you take up. The most important basic happens to be proper footwork. And that's what this book emphasizes. This is a must read for anybody taking up muay thai or thinking about taking up muay thai. You'd be surprised how many people skip out on proper footwork. This is the "secret" as to why Thai fighters are on another level, even if they don't have the fanciest gyms and latest trendy workout gears. They pour their heart and soul and don't skip out on perfecting the basics.

Muito bom como descrito

Ein lehrreiches Buch, um sich eine gut fundierte Schrittschule theoretisch anzueignen. Ich konnte damit mein Muay Thai definitiv verbessern.

Veramente interessante, ho un inglese basico ma con qualche piccolo aiuto diventa di chiara comprensione

This book was straight to the point explaining the reasoning behind the footwork, striking, defense, and countering of Muay Thai. I am very happy that I bought this book. I know if I practice everything in this book, I will be a great fighter!
