Combatives: FM 3-25.150 Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)One reviewer wrote that (in his opinion) ground fighting is not practical. I would be willing to bet that this person has never been in a real fight. MOST fights end up on the ground and if you can control your opponent you can defeat (kill) him. As far as the other raters assertaion that "submission"...

Basic Yoga for Everybody: 84 Cards with Accompanying Handbook Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)What a great idea! So, I bought the cards and opened the nicely marketed package to find hard to understand illustrations and non-descript type. This product could be helpful for the ultimate beginner, but I would not even recommend it for them. I was very disappointed with the content of the cards and...

The Very Fairy Princess Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"The Very Fairy Princess" is a charming and witty story about young Geraldine, who believes with her entire being that she is a fairy princess -- even when others do not. She believes because she feels it inside. Julie Andrews Edwards and Emma Walton Hamilton have written a brilliant story with a very...

The Vance Stance Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I've had this book for several years. I did the program faithfully several years ago when I had a lot of spare time on my hands, but then stopped once my husband and I were living in the same city again (but that's another story...). Anyway, several years and two small children later, here I am with...

Breathworks for Your Back Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Ms. Swayzee wrote her book for the lay person, yet you will find that it is not at all simplistic. IF YOU WANT RELIEF FROM LOW BACK PAIN OR IF YOU HAVE A HEALTHY BACK AND YOU WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY you must learn how to function, day to day, utilizing a stable trunk. This means, that YOUR UPPER BODY...

My experience has been in Kenpo, Kung Fu and Brazilian Jujitsu. I found this book very interesting; I have experience...

Yoga on the Ball: Enhance Your Yoga Practice Using the Exercise Ball Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have practiced yoga for several years now but just recently purchased a stability ball, so I wanted a book that would teach me how to adapt yoga postures to ball work. Author Carol Mitchell takes awhile to actually get into the exercises, as she goes into quite a bit of detail about yoga tradition,...

Overpower Pain: The Strength-Training Program that Stops Pain without Drugs or Surgery Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book did not deliver what it promised. The first few chapters have excellent information on the many soft tissue imbalances that can cause pain. But most of the book is really a very out-of-date strength training guide for "correcting" these imbalances. Many of the exercises are contraindicated,...

Om Yoga Today: A Yoga Practice for 5, 15, 30, 60, and 90 Minutes Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I love that this book has practices from 5-90 minutes but the instructions and illustrations may be too succinct for some. For instance, the locust pose has virtually no instructions and the stick figure just barely illustrates the pose. The poses generally don't mention modifications beyond the advice...

Full-Body Flexibility Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I have been looking for a good stretching/yoga book, and came across Full-Body Flexibility and was reading the reviews. I have actually seen Jay speak in person, and so I was compelled to buy it. I was not surprised by the positive reviews, but was very surprised by the negative one because I thought...
