Publisher's Synopsis
The Book of Five Cyphers is a comprehensive guide on the essential tenets of bboying and bgirling. Modeled after The Book of Five Rings by legendary Japanese samurai Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Cyphers relates each of the core elements--Earth, Water, Wind, Fire--to a particular aspect of bboying, covering training fundamentals, energy and movement, battle strategy, and other breaking philosophies.
This revolutionary piece combines a collective understanding of bboying and bgirling with a community platform, where other dancers share their own wisdom, experience, and journey in the final "Emptiness" chapter. With the aim to encourage and empower dancers to discover their own Path, The Book of Five Cyphers takes the reader on a journey through the dance and into a new perspective on life.
