If you go to the dog brothers web site http://www.dogbrothers.com/index1.htm you will find that one of the guys there is very into KK and they have a video coming out about the art.

Good Luck!

Chalambook, a member of this forum, is also very high ranking in KK and a good resource.

What a great question. There are literally dozens of books about Krabi-Krabong, and you can find them in downtown Bangkok at the Ministry of Education Bookstore, all in Thai. Well...that didn't work too well for me, even though I bought a few and later found it costs $25 a page for me to get them translated, but there are drawings and pictures that are followable, for the most part. I have seen stories in several European periodicals, mainly fitness magazines (Krabi-Krabong was determined to be the most aerobic exercise there was) but also in some martial arts mags. I would think this very resource we are using, the Internet, would probably work for access to information. You might be able to access the morgue of the Bangkok Post. As far as videos are concerned, several people have been given permission to promote the art. Most have not been able to strike the correct deal with the companies involved, issues being wai khru-related. I feel this art will explode when people start seeing it, the analogy of a snap kick versus a Thai kick being quite appropriate. There is a reason the Thai have never been conquered.

Muay Thai The Most Distinguished Art of Fighting by Panya Kraitus and Dr Pitisuk Kraitus has some drawings from the ancient manuscript of Thai boxing. There are some great empty-hand techniques shown.
