This review is from: Beyond Kicking: A Complete Guide to Stretching and Kicking (Paperback)

This book is thorough, well organized and well layed out. The verbal descriptions of the moves are clear. (Some of the photographs are a little fuzzy, however.) Besides the chapters on stretching there are chapters on kicking drills, weight training, concentration and visualization, and diet (although his recommendations to eat horse meat and avoid ice cream didn't grab me). He also provides sample weekly training schedules for beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. But beginners beware: this book is not for beginners. It assumes you can do the splits, and was designed to follow Frenette's first book, entitled Jean Frenette's Complete Guide to Stretching. If you're starting out, start there.
