Knockout is an intimate and forthright memoir that delves into Mia Kang's personal journey from self-reproach to self-acceptance. A multitalented individual, Kang is renowned as a highly sought-after model, an immigrant, a survivor of eating disorders, and a Muay Thai fighter. Within the pages of her debut book, Kang shares her experience of veering away from societal beauty standards and reclaiming her self-worth through the practice of martial arts. With an endearing, fierce, and candid narrative, Kang extends an invitation to readers to step into her world. Once fixated on her weight, she has now come to embrace her identity as a woman who exists beyond the confines of conventional femininity. Having confronted bullying, addiction, body dysmorphia, anxiety, depression, and even thoughts of suicide, Mia acknowledges her fortune in still being here today to impart the wisdom she has gained: to refuse to allow others to dictate one's authentic self.
