Muay Boran: Pra Jao Seua The Legendary Tiger King Style (Martial arts of Thailand)

This is the first of a two-volume study of Muay Boran, the devastating unarmed fighting Art of Ancient Thailand. It was developed as the ultimate form of military self-defence during countless wars in the unforgiving crucible of Southeast Asia’s battlefields. This comprehensive book examines “Muay Boran Sai Pra Jao Seua”, The Legendary Tiger King Style of Muay Boran. Muay Boran is the Traditional Art upon which modern Muay Thai was developed. This book will teach you why this sacred Art has become respected worldwide as the most formidable of all fighting Arts. The book contains hundreds of pictures together with in-depth descriptions about the lethal Art. It will guide you through all that you need to know, starting from how to "Wai", or bow, how to stand in your "Kum Chung", or guard, and to how to perform the amazing "Gradoed" flying attacks. This book also offers insights into this unique fighting Art that utilises the "Nawa Awut", or all nine weapons of the human organism. These weapons include kicks, punches, knees, elbows, and the head. It also explores the fascinating history of the Art that was almost in lost history, including the Tiger King himself and the deadly “Kad Cheauk" rope bound fists style of combat. You will discover how, a defence can also be an offensive, and an offensive manoeuvre can be the best form of defence. This volume in the series will teach you the powerful "Chung Muay", consisting of powerful hand strikes, dynamic kicks, crushing knees, lethal elbows, and "Mai Rap", how to defend, trap, and block your opponent’s attacks. Volume two will demonstrate the lethal "Kon Muay" counterattacks, throws, together with the truly devastating "Mai Hak" limb destruction techniques. It will also explore the peaceful side of this Art including Thai Buddhism, meditation, and the mystic arts of the “Sak Yant” tattoos, and amulets of protection. Both volumes combined will provide the most comprehensive guides ever written about the devastating Art of Muay Boran Pra Jao Seua, Tiger King Style of Ancient Thai Boxing. Read more
