All of the 116 movements incorporated into Wooden Dummy are covered and illustrated with step-by-step photographs, and information is provided on the practical applications of these movements. A detailed explanation of the principles and concepts behind the form, as well as its shape and structure is also included along with a number of practice exercises and drills.
