Do not buy this book! The lineage is historically questionable at best, the excercises would only serve to make you look silly, and the martil arts techniques could very well get you hurt. The grappling situations never occur and the strikes are all telegraphed. Even if an Incan fighting art managed to survive, unchanged, through five centuries of Spanish occupation and assimilation, if the techniques were as described here, it wouldn't be worth learning.
