4.0 out of 5 stars A must for the kicking specialist, May 28, 1998

If you like to kick and want to learn to snap off a piledriver of a kick this is the book. Mr. Lee introduces several basic stretching techniques that we all know by heart. But the kicking sequences help the basic to intermediate student develop "the flow" that they need to master kicking basics. A good book for the library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book on Kicking, May 20, 2002

This review is from: Advanced Explosive Kicks (Literary Links to the Orient) (Paperback)

As a martial artist, I pride myself on my kicking ability. I have read many books that claim to contain advance kicking techniques only to find that the kicks were quite basic. Lee's book is the one that I've been searching for. It contains a variety of kicks that were new to me and provides thorough instructions (including very good photographs) on how to properly execute the techniques.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have manual on kicking art, October 28, 1998

Mr Lee's technique is flawless and exciting, even in print format. The photos are well-done, so that the reader can easy follow the action and thus make the technique his/her own with practice. This is an exceptional look at the foot-fighting techniques of Korean tae kwon do.
