There aren't too many books on breaking it from the photos it is quite clear that not only was the author pretty handy at it he had some serious moves on him.The book is not massive, 143 pages and most of that is taken up with photos. The book starts off with a very basic looking at striking areas, speed training and toughening work. Of course given the size of the book these are not exhaustive, especially the hardening section. The book then moves along into a range of actual breaks where the author is shown doing certain techniques to break items (mostly boards for the purposes of the demonstration). And handily there is also a brief section on how to hold a board for others to break.Some of the moves are fairly standard and the photographs along with the brief text on each move make it easy to follow, there were only a couple of the more advanced ones that seemed a little hard to follow. And speaking of the advanced breaks some of them are so advanced that unless you are in the prime of life and so good you are in a demonstration team or something you won't be doing them. A few towards the very end of the book seemed to be more about acrobatic skill. Having said that it is interesting to see what some people are capable of and many of the breaking moves also have an illustration of a real life application.As noted earlier there aren't too many books on breaking so if you are going to be doing some this is worth it if you can pick it up cheaply, the author imparts a few real words of wisdom the work.
