MUAY THAI BOOK SIGINING
Often referred to as the face of American Muay Thai, Kevin Ross got a late start to the sport. Not stepping foot into a gym until he was almost 23 years old, whereas most high-level fighters begin when they are still children. The feeling of already being so far behind motivated Kevin to push himself and sacrifice more than most were willing to. He knew that if he were ever going to “make it” he would have to drive himself as much as possible every second of every day. He needed to continually go up against the best, the ones that on paper he had no business being in there with. Kevin made a name for himself as the “face” of American Muay Thai with his aggressive, in your face, never quit style and attitude. Always staying true to his quote, ““I’d rather lose an exciting fight than win a boring one.”

Kevin Ross has been at the forefront of elevating American Muay Thai on the International scene; he is an inspiration to countless students of Muay Thai.  A fighter, author, speaker and artist. Get an inside glimpse into the heart and mind of this modern day Renaissance man. This is his first book and he plans to write many more in the future that will follow along his unique life’s journey.
