Book Review

Title: The Complete Art of Breaking
Author: Richard Byrne

ISBN: 89750-099-7
Date of Review: December 2002 Reviewer: Malcolm Bates
Opinion: Initially seemed a bit lacking but on rereading I am convinced that it contains what one needs if you want to start on tamashiwara training. The author covers the warm up routines, training methods with an emphasis on pictures to show how to make contact with objects and also photographs illustrating how the objects should be held to reduce the risk of injury.

Overall an enjoyable read and one that deserves a second viewing.
