no one can give better inside information on this subject than this super athlete. He shares his 32 years of experience all in this book. With 700 photos, demonstrations and illustrations, everyone-martial artist and non-martial artist can benefit from the extraordinary, easy to understand, step by step fitness and conditioning chapters for a healthy body, including practical target practice, floor exercise, running,weight lifting, kicking and punching.

The meditation and philosophy are a tremendous help to understand how to connect the mind with the body in order to face everyday challenge, so knowing how to fight the most explosive sports on earth, it is important to know how to approach a fight.

Be prepared if you provoke a fight to deal with the consequences that come with it. In his book, the author teaches the students the techniques, drills used for fighting, and how to have the winning edge to conquer the opponent.

The dynamic art of breaking is the most fascinating subject of martial arts. At this stage a student has to demonstrate his ability to go through hard surfaces such as brick, boards, glass, cement blocks, etc. using punching, kicking and flying techniques without injuring himself. In many different ways the breaking section includes educational, information, forms for each technique, demonstration of the breaking technique and the application in self defense. This unique way is simple to understand and shows how to do it yourself.

Throughout the book the photos and illustrations show all the best techniques, including forms, stances kicking, punching and beaking techniques. The idea behind each demonstration is to show both the basic and advanced guide for all martial artist and non-martial arts students.
