I have some other books from this time period and they look nothing like this. It can't be that the art has changed this much, as those other books look like Muay Thai. This doesn't look like any martial art. The kicking pictures in particular are horrid. Arms flailing every which way and hitting with the sole of the foot sort of like a crescent kick motion. Really I have no idea how anyone could learn from this book.
Having said that there are some interesting shots of the Mae Mai and Luk Mai in the middle section of the book. They aren't identified as such but they are in there. The Distinguished Art of Fighting is a better book for this though. Please do yourself a favour and buy it instead.
