on 8/30/2009 You can break it without first turning it,if you apply enough force that is.Doing so is easier for men,but if you're a woman,this kind of break is a 100% sure to take a life,or at least paralyze the oponent.

on 3/24/2009 This is an awsome technique, and she does a great job of teaching it, and is careful to warn of its lethal nature. It is no different than a firearms coach teaching students to shoot a pistol, or all other martial arts instructors who teach swords and other weapons. Martial arts students should know this unarmed lethal technique. I dont know why most instructors wont teach this, unless they just dont know it. It brings a self confidence. It is like a nuke. Just because you have it doesnt mean have to use it. I dont think anyone would mess with Mallory.

on 8/2/2008 When I saw this offered, I wondered about it, but it's actually been seen by millions of us when watching movies. How many times have we seen an actor take someone's head and twist it from side-to-side, "breaking the neck" for the movie effect? When Mallory demonstrates it here, it almost seems that I've seen it before--except that she's not putting on a show.

Video Transcript

"I'm going to show you how to break the neck. Now this is a serious situation but if it were a life or death situation as womens self defense mostly is this is something you need to consider. To break the neck you have to use a two way motion. You have to release and then break so to release the jaw you can either push it aside here, push it aside here. Once you have got that direction going you want to snap in the other direction. So once I've released I want to pull, two way action, here and push as hard as I can. So it's here, boom. Other way, release the jaw, put your hand on the back of the head and push and pull at the same time. Once again that two way action, pushing and pulling at the same time. Boom, boom. The other angle, boom, push and pull. It doesn't really matter if you are on the jaw or on the head just when you're pushing and pulling just remember you've got that two way action going. Once again this is serious a situation, don't take this lightly. If you are going to break somebody's neck it needs to be when your life depends on it and if the assailant is going to take your life then you need to take his. By breaking the neck, it's over, game's over. Once again, even if you don't break the neck, here, boom, you could seriously damage somebody so please take this seriously when you're training and if you're using somebody don't do it for real because you could hurt them."
