Karate Breaking Techniques is the first book devoted solely to the art and techniques of breaking. The author, a highly experienced martial arts instructor and former Green Beret, explains clearly and systematically how to break boards, bricks, and other objects, and discusses practical applications of these techniques for self-defense. With over 500 outstanding photographs and sketches, this book demonstrates the breaks themselves, then, in a simple, step-by-step manner, teaches how to execute them properly and safely. Although kola and fighting principles differ from style to style, breaking remains a constant, no matter what the style. Therefore, although martial artists may fight differently, execute kato differently or execute entirely different sets of kala, all students of all styles can use the information set out in Karate Breaking Techniques to master the art of reaking. Beginning with thorough coverage of the basics and on examination of the three principles of speed, power, and penetration, the author explains the importance of focus, body conditioning, proper placement of objects to be broken, breath control, and other vital aspects of the art. Hand, kicking, flying, and combination breaking techniques are discussed in detail, and the book concludes with instructions for performing impressive demonstration techniques.

Excellent. & informative,
This review is from: Karate Breaking Techniques: With Practical Applications for Self-Defense (Paperback)
A very interesting book! Anyone who practices the tameshiwari will thoroughly enjoy this book, and will no doubt get something out of it. This is one of the very few teach-yourself books on the market of any value, and of them one of the most valuable; you'll love this one. Most schools these days won't have anything to do with breaking (and have a pretty long list of empty reasons why). If you're determined to learn, then you're on the right track and this book is a good place to start.
