Review: I did not think the book was bad. The photos are clear but it is not a book for beginners. It is designed for advanced students that don't need detailed explanations and hand holding. I was able to follow the photos and the techniques in the book with no problems.

Review: I respect Tak Kubota very much but this book is complete garbage. Several pages at the beginning tells you how great is Tak Kubota. Rest of the book (95%) is devoted to photos without any written explanation. Tak Kubota performes some punches and kicks and some throwing combinations but there are no comments on timing, weight distribution, movements and etc. Is's like album full of family photoes - you need someone to sit near you and comment on every photo or you'll just get bored to death browsing all this pictures. The book is of some value only for those who want some Tak Kubota photos.
