Advanced Kicks is a must have for any Fan or Student (past,present,or future) of Sifu Cynthia Rothrock.

It has a very good and easy to follow format. However...like ANY instructional book or video...... it is only a guide to actual training with a Qualified instructor. One could get "Hurt" trying to do some of the stretches or kicking drills without the proper warmup.

What would make this book complete is if it were to have a Video package.

I own a copy (*1st printing)of this book and use it as a reference manual at my Martial Arts Studio.

*A note to Collectors. This book has two printings. Both printings are pretty much the same. The difference is the "price" on the back cover.

Chung and Rothrock are legends. Great martial artists with duly earned fame. Their book is a beautiful presentation of the most aesthetic of kicks, therefore underscoring form and high kicking. It is also tilted in my opinion towards the Korean interpretation of kicking where aesthetics and flexibility are kings. This book is nice and I think a must have for the collecting kicking enthusiast. I do not consider it a reference work, because much too eclectic and not really practical.

por favor no gaste su dinero en este pesimo y mediocre libro,,lo unico que la mujer y el chino hacen es mostrar su impresionante flexibilidad,pero nada mas,,no aportan tecnicas reales ni explicaciones para llegar a ese estado.

me parece mas bien que los autores lo que quieren es que la gente sepa que ellos tienen una super-flexibilidad impresionante.

este es solamente un librito y nada mas,, muy,,muy pero muy mediocre
