      January 30, 2005: Very thorough and detailed book on the 'Sport of Kings'. Accurate and practical techniques were shown for the ring or self-defense applications. However, this IS a pure Muay Thai book, so MMA strikers may not be able to apply all of the techniques included. Regardless, this is an excellent, well-written book and I would suggest it to anyone wishing to improve their striking ability.
