Nicely done
This DVD is done in Portugese and English. If one were to characterize Muay Thai training as beginner, intermediate and advanced, this is at the early stage of Intermediate in my estimate (I've trained for about 28 years). It is shot at numerous angles, very clear and no difficulty to play the DVD. It is clearly spoken, well thought out and well presented. ... Read more

Great training guide!
This book has been a fantastic guide and supplement to my training. Scott Ashley's anecdotes and motivational stories form a great backdrop to the step-by-step process to building a great fighter. This coupled with the photos and demonstrations help you formulate your own training regiment and program. I have been practicing these tips and guidelines and I can already feel the improvement in my technique. Thanks "Great Scott" for creating a "great" training bible to help get me on the road to success in my kickboxing endeavors!

simply awesome
"Great Scott" Ashley is a legend both to kick boxing and martial arts, who happens to live the life of a champion both in the ring and out. There is no doubt that this book will produce its own generation of champions who hopefully will have the mind and heart of its author.To those who have trained with him or have faced him in the ring he is simply awesome.If you want to to know what it takes to be great read this book and make it your training model.

Easy step by step to being a champion
This is the best book I've ever read on how tobe a champion kick boxer.
Great photos, easy step by step from start to finish. A must have for anyone
who wants to win big. I can't wait for the next book. I'm hoping to own
the completed collection one day. He is a genius and a champion at physical
stamina and the mental focus to go the distance. Bravo!

Great title on Kickboxing from a legend in the sport and a great martial artist
If you want to learn about the essentials of kickboxing and what it takes to be able to train in a way that will help you to win, this book is a great asset.The author shares the details of his training routine and experience in a very practical way that will help anyone interested in this sport to better themselves.Although I have not trained in Kickboxing, I have trained with the author and can tell you that he has a vast amount of experience, knowledge, and ability in this area.Highly recommended!

Excellent book!!
If you are like most people you are scanning Amazon.com for the "right book" for Boxing/kickboxing training.I happened to have trained for a short period of time with Mr. Ashley in Davie Florida.I have trained with many instructors in different genres of fighting arts from MMA, traditional martial arts, to boxing.My training with Mr. Ashley was by far the best training I have experienced to this date.Boxing, kickboxing, martial arts, or any sport for the most part is about mastering the basics.Anyone with a good foundation of basic skills will always be superior to a fighter with weak basic skills.The problem I have had with most books is trying to comprehend the small nuances of the basic techniques they discuss and show in pictures.Something is almost always missed when you try the techniques yourself without someone there to watch you.This is not the case with Mr. Ashley's book.Everything he teaches in the book is EASY to follow on your own and NOTHING is missed.His instruction in the book makes it as comprehendible as if he was right there with you.This is the same training routine and instruction he uses with his students in Florida.I have worked out with world champion fighters and great coaches in the past.However, the problem I have discovered in the fighting arts is just because someone is a great fighter does not mean they are a good teacher.Sometimes a great fighter is a great fighter because they can do things the rest of us can not.But they do not understand this and then try to make you like them; it does not work.Scott Ashley is that rare mix of a great fighter and instructor.This book was easy to understand and I know from working out with Mr. Ashley that nothing is missed or can be misinterpreted. I can now maintain my routine in the gym or at home as if I was in a class working out with Mr. Ashley.Just follow the book, whether or not you have prior experience. You will have great basic skills, conditioning, and combinations in your tool box to fight with. A favorite quote of mine I once heard Mr. Ashley say while instructing his students in a boxing gym; "the toughest fighters I dealt with in the ring were fighters with great conditioning.I would rather fight a well skilled fighter with poor conditioning than a well conditioned fighter with only basic skills".This book is well worth the money to add to your library.I look forward to the sequel! ...

An excellent primer for young people interested in martial arts
Kick Boxing by Klaus Nonemacher is an excellent book for children interested in martial arts. My seven year old originally took this book out at his school library and began to read and try out the techniques in a serious an competent manner. I know I was impressed. The large photos and step by step explanation of effective martial arts techniques made the book interesting to a young reader. I would recommend it highly. ... Read more

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Le kick-boxing américain est un sport de combat, un type de boxe pieds-poings codifié aux États-Unisdans les années 1960, se pratiquant sur ring. Il est né de l'engouement aux États-Unis pour le karatéainsi que pour les autres arts martiaux (kempo, kung-fu, taekwondo, bando, etc.). Différents styles de pratiques martiales développèrent des formes de contact variées. De nombreux champions désireux de faire connaître la diversité de leurs techniques, contribuèrent à leur évolution. Des tournois étaient organisés par des styles de combat divers ; comme l'United States National Karate Championship de Jhoon Rhee, la Bataille d'Atlanta d'Ed Parker, et dès 1962 les opens sur ring de bando kickboxing (forme héritière de l'ancestrale boxe birmane importée par l'expert Maung Gyi). D'autres tournois importants comme Mas Oyama All Worth America Championship (karaté kyokushinkaï au K.O.) ont changé les traditionnels tournois de karaté jusqu'alors organisés sans contact. ...

Excerpt: The Nationalsozialistischer Reichsbund für Leibesübungen (NSRL), more rarely "NSRBL", (meaning: National Socialist League of the Reich for Physical Exercise), known as Deutscher Reichsbund für Leibesübungen (DRL) until 1938, was the umbrella organization for sports during the Third Reich. The NSRL was led by the Reichssportführer, who after 1934 was at the same time presiding over the German National Olympic Committee. The NSRL's leaders were Hans von Tschammer und Osten (19331943), Arno Breitmeyer (19431944) and Karl Ritter von Halt (19441945). The 1916 Summer Olympics had been awarded to Berlin, but were canceled because of the duration of World War I. The Deutscher Reichsausschuss für Olympische Spiele (DRA or DRAfOS) "German Imperial Commission for Olympic Games", was the German Olympic Sports organization at that time. In 1917 the "German Imperial Commission for Olympic Games" was renamed Deutscher Reichsausschuss für Leibesübungen (DRA), (sometimes also DRL or, more rarely, DRAfL) ("German Imperial Commission for Physical Exercise"). The name change reflected Germany's protest against the fact that Germany and other Central Powers were being excluded from the "Olympic family" which was dominated by the Entente Powers. The Deutscher Reichsausschuss für Leibesübungen was led by Theodor Lewald and Carl Diem was its Secretary General. Even though it saw itself as the pan-German umbrella organization for sports, the fact is that it did not represent all types of spor...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=19660709 ... Read more
