ill. La muay thai o boxe thailandese può essere definita a ragione l'arte marziale del Duemila: inarrestabile e spettacolare, ha avuto negli ultimi anni un enorme aumento di popolarità grazie alla sua particolare efficacia. In realtà, è una disciplina antichissima, le cui origini si perdono nella notte dei tempi: le prime testimonianze relative ad essa risalgono a quasi 2000 anni fa, quando veniva pratica nel misterioso regno del Siam. Questo volume illustra le origini dell'arte, tutte le pratiche preparatorie al combattimento (wai khruu e ram muay), le metodologie di allenamento dei combattenti professionisti thailandesi e le tecniche fondamentali: pugni, calci con le tibie, colpi di ginocchio, colpi di gomito, prese e proiezioni.
ill., br. Il volume presenta un'analisi approfondita delle strategie di combattimento della tradizione siamese (Muay Thai) più avanzate e letali: le Look Mai Muay Thai Boran. Le Look Mai sono le vere "tecniche segrete" che ogni Bramajarn (Gran Maestro) del passato custodiva gelosamente, rivelandole solo ai propri allievi più fedeli. Se le Mae Mai (strategie di base) sono per tutti, le Look Mai sono per gli eletti; se le tecniche fondamentali devono, per loro definizione, poter essere eseguite dopo un lasso di tempo relativamente breve, le Look Mai non sono alla portata del praticante medio. La loro padronanza in realtà contraddistingue il vero fuori classe nell'Arte della Muay tradizionale. Argomenti trattati: i principi che sono alla base delle tecniche più avanzate della Muay Boran, la Fisica della Muay Thai, le chiavi di lettura per svelare il linguaggio criptico delle Look Mai, oltre a un'analisi degli stili tradizionali Muay Chaiya e Muay Korat, alle strategie offensive e l'Arte della difesa, lo studio dei punti vitali, la lotta tradizionale Thai.
