Many kinds of breaks, lacking in detail,,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Art of Breaking (Literary Links to the Orient) (Paperback)
The book discusses conditioning, many kinds of breaks (including speed and special materials). Lacks detail, especially on conditioning and points of contact.

A waste of time and money,

If you like pictures of people breaking stuff, then buy this book. But otherwise don't waste your time and money. There is a little foreword with no usefull information on breaking and then...NOTHING. Just pictures of the author breaking stuff. Ask any martial arts instructor about breaking and you will learn much more.

Shallow and basic,

This review is from: The Complete Art of Breaking (Literary Links to the Orient) (Paperback)
This book lacks depht. It shows a number of differnet tecniques, and is no doubt inspirational when it comes to new ideas for breking demonstrations. But it did not really give me anything new. Particulary the side kick break could be explained in much more detail, whwn it comes to keeping the body straight at impact and much much more. The pictures are however clear and the book is nice to look at, and for beginners ore novices this is no doubt an entertaining book. But if you practice Karate or Taekwon-Do allready, and has been for more than a year, i guarantee you will not find much new in this book. And if you do then shame on your instructor because this is very very very basic stuff. If you dont belive me, by all means buy the book, after all it has an all right price tag.
