New strong dynamics at the energy scale {approx}1 TeV is an attractive and elegant theoretical {ital ansatz} for the origin of electroweak symmetry breaking. We review here, the theoretical models for strong dynamics, particularly, techni-color theories and their low energy signatures. We emphasize that the fantastic beam energy resolution ({sigma}{sub E}/E{approximately}10{sup {minus}4}) expected at the first muon collider ({radical} (s) =100{endash}500thinspGeV) allows the possibility of resolving some extraordinarily narrow technihadron resonances and, Higgs-like techniscalars produced in the s-channel. Investigating indirect probes for strong dynamics such as search for muon compositeness, we find that the muon colliders provide unparalleled reaches. A big muon collider ({radical} (s) =3{endash}4thinspTeV) would be a remarkable facility to study heavy technicolor particles such as the topcolor Z{sup {prime}}, to probe the dynamics underlying fermion masses and mixings and to fully explore the strongly interacting electroweak sector. {copyright} {ital 1998 American Institute of Physics.}
