About Knockout

Product Description An intimate and unflinching memoir exploring Mia Kang’s journey from self-loathing to self-love   Mia Kang is many things: a sought-after model, an immigrant, an eating disorder survivor, and a Muay Thai fighter. Her first book, Knockout, is the story of how she eschewed normative body standards and learned to use martial arts to redefine her sense of self-worth. In a charming, fierce, and intimate voice, Kang invites readers into her world. She once lived and died by her weight, but she is now defined by her confidence in being a woman who lives outside the mold of what we’re taught is “feminine.” After dealing with bullying, addiction, body dysmorphia, anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts, Mia acknowledges that she is lucky to still be alive to tell readers what she’s learned: to not let anyone else dictate who you are supposed to be.   Review “This is a tough, triumphant memoir.” ― Publishers Weekly “The author delivers the gritty details via a raw, street-wise narrative voice that feels engrossingly authentic.” ― Kirkus Reviews About the Author Mia Kang is a Hong Kong–born international model. She has graced the pages of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Sports Illustrated, among many others, and has worked with many international brands. She is currently the host of Bravo’s Spy Games. She lives in New York City when she is not in Thailand practicing her Muay Thai.
