I have been involved in the sport for many years and I highly recommend this practical visual guide to authentic Muay Thai training. Tony Myers - respected UK Muay Thai official and coach. Thank you for sending in your book, it really is a great asset to any Thai boxing students arsenal and something that every one will use regularly to not only assist them with their training but also to monitor their progress. I have had the good fortune (over the last 38 years) to have read a great deal of books in my capacity of being the publisher of Combat and fighters magazines but I have only once before come a across a book designed to be USED and not just read. I believe that what you have created will be used for many years to come by thousands of Thai Boxing students and I wish that the same concept could be created/adopted for the other martial arts systems and styles. Congratulations for producing a book that is not only a very valuable tool for training but also a book that was obviously written from the heart and a Thai Boxing students point of view. It WILL become a landmark publication and one that you will need to reprint for many years to come which, in my opinion denotes its intrinsic value to the Thai Boxing World. My advice would be for anyone that trains Muay Thai to get their copy now before they are too late and because a first edition will always be sought after more than a reprint. Congratulations on producing, what will forever be hailed, a true master piece of student support in the form of an A political master class Thai Boxing publication. Paul S Clifton - Publisher of Combat and Fighters magazines. Muay Thai in pictures is exactly that, a photographic profile of many of the core moves and techniques in Muay Thai without needless words. The pictures speak for themselves. All of the techniques are broken down in each photograph (with relevant notes) so that they can be fully understood, and the guys in the pictures are actual fighters from the World famous Sasiprapa Gym in Bangkok, rather than glossy models that are so often found in other books. Ive been involved in Muay Thai for almost 30 years now, and I can honestly say that this is the best book that Ive seen on the subject, especially as it dispenses with all the guff and simply gets down to what we want to know (maybe even giving away a few secrets?). In the late nineties I was lucky enough to have been trained by the late great Chanai Pongsupha, and the fact that this book is dedicated to his memory cements the deal for me. Buy this book now.

| muay thai tutorial: Anatomy for Fantasy Artists Glenn Fabry, 2021-09-28 From an Eisner award winning artist, a guide to creating fantasy figures for comics, graphic novels, sci-fi book covers and illustrations, and computer games. Fantasy artists are unlikely to use models to draw from life but, to be successful, their creations must have a grounding in reality. This book teaches the artist the principles of anatomy, from musculature and skeletal structure through to movement. You can then develop your artistic style by breaking and bending the rules of anatomy through practical exercises and demonstrations, accompanied by incredible finished artworks. The step-by-step exercises help the artist to fully understand the subtle movements that combine to create expressions, and the flowing movements that constitute actions. This is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in improving and developing their fantasy art figures. |
