The 36 Don't MISS Muay Thai Library Sessions

One of the things we face is that the Muay Thai Library is just so huge - it has over 140 long form video documentations and over 164 hours, that its just hard to penetrate into what is becoming the Bible of Thailand's traditional Muay Thai, or at least a very important archive of its past rich knowledge. Where do you start? What don't you want to miss?

So Kevin and I sat down and made some "don't miss" picks as well as labeling our personal picks as favorites, and a bit on what they focus on. You can see them color coded below. There are so, so many great ones it was hard to pick, but as a great place to start these are ours.

Below are the links to the Patreon Sessions themselves. You can find fuller descriptions in the Muay Thai Library Table of Contents page which is generally the best way to get around and find stuff. Let us know in comments if you have any favorites you would tell a friend to definitely not miss, or sessions you've studied multiple times. We'd like to build an even better recommendation list if we could.

Your support of this documentary project is producing the greatest archive of a fighting art probably in the history of the world, something that generations from now people will study.
