Fighting Strategies Of Muay Thai: Secrets Of Thailand's Boxing Camps by martial arts expert Mark Van Schuyver with the assistance of Kru Pedro Solana Villalobos (owner, director, and head instructor of the Thailand Arts Institute) is a straightforward presentation of timing elements, strategies, and training techniques of the martial art of Muay Thai boxing. An informative text illustrated with black-and-white photographs explores individual techniques in-depth, as well as conditioning methods, and the four basic types of fighter, and much more in this excellent overview of Muay Thai discipline. Fighting Strategies Of Muay Thai is essential reading for anyone with an interest in Thai martial arts.

Beautifully written book (with the exception of some typos). The book assumes you have prior knowledge of muay Thai so don't expect a step-by-step instruction manual. You may want to look elsewhere for basic instructions. The book serves its purpose well and breaks down the methods, mechanics, tools, ranges and strategies needed to succeed in the ring. You might get a bit confused in the beginning when Van Shuyver attempts to give the reader a physics lesson on power and movement. I guess we should have paid attention in class huh. Fighters are broken down into four major categories: aggressive, elusive, counterer and tricky. I think we all fall somewhere within these categories but it is interesting to see how a muay Thai stylist deals with such fighters and the book goes into many possible options. There's even a self-assessment you can take to determine your fighting style. All in all, a good bang for your buck.
