Customer Rating: Summary: knife enthusiast from mississippi Comment: my girlfriend got this for me for my birthday, i absolutely love it!!! It includes from intermediate to advance openings including the aerials. Unlike alot of balisong manuals, Jeff Imada also included self-defense illustrations with balisongs that are absolutely no non-sense and without flashy embellishments. Customer Rating: Summary: A very complete beginners course Comment: I have just found out that I made the right purchase. The Balisong Manual is great for getting started in the art of the Balisong. Unlike some other Balisong book courses, this title is very complete and dosen't hold back. The pictures and discriptions make alot of sense and are easy to follow. Thouroughly recommended, I believe there is a follow up course for advanced students. I know that I will be ordering that soon also. Customer Rating: Summary: The Balisong Bible!
