About this ebook
This thoroughly revised edition is designed for intermediate and advanced Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts fighters and trainers to enhance their counter tactics
This in-depth explanation of Muay Thai counter-tactics is the ideal companion for martial arts practitioners looking to improve their technique. Muay Thai is a martial art with a variety of impressive techniques; every attack technique can be countered with a large number of variants. No two fighters will react to an attack in the same way, because while most Muay Thai fighters learn the same basic techniques each fighter will go on to learn a wide variety of secondary techniques and will adapt them to his or her individual fighting style.
In addition to full-color photographs of such well-known Thai boxers as Saiyok Pumphanmuang and Kem Sitsongpeenong demonstrating techniques, this edition includes:
• the rules and ceremonial procedures unique to Muay Thai competition
• historical and modern techniques
• training tips
• information on the benefits of training in Thailand—experiencing the art in its country of origin
Suitable for Thai boxers as well as mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters, Muay Thai Counter Techniques is a useful addition to the library of anyone seeking to add more techniques into their repertoire and take their training to the next level.
