online texts on muay thai

[Exponential]

I'll be starting mma training this summer, but I'm impatient. Could someone link me to some osrt of online document on the techniques and what not? I need to be able to read something to curb my impatience.

Welcome and Salutations I would definitely skip trying to read any instructional books on any kind of MA. The history and philosophy of MA's r completely different story. "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, "The Book of Five Rings" by Miyamoto Musashi and "The Tao of Jeet Kun Do" by Bruce Lee r all must haves for any serious Martial Artist. Good Luck

Fat Donkeys right, if your looking to read about the history of the Martial Arts and other information like that then thats a great idea and you have almost unlimited online resources to choose from, just by going to a good search engine. Visit several sites because you will start to see that they differ in opinion and in other ways.

 

BUT, if your looking some some type of instruction prior to getting with an instructor then thats just a bad idea. That is how people build bad habits and it will make your learning more difficult once you get with a real instructor and it also makes his/her job a lot harder because now they have to try and break the bad habits that you have aquired.

 

anyways good luck in your searches

Go to the menu, click on The Art Of Muay Thai then choose a link.

What an awesome site, thanks man. Its funny but I didn't recognise the names of any of those techniques although I recognise the actual moves. I asked my arjun about this and he said every camp has different names for the same techniques, how that for homogeneity.
