Bro-Jitsu The Martial Art of Sibling Smackdown by Daniel H. Wilson


Genre: Young Adult
Sub Genre: Fiction; Siblings
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: The world’s most (okay, only) comprehensive guide to sibling torment. Kung Fu. Tae Kwon Do. Karate. All ancient martial arts that have been around for thousands of years. But there’s only one martial art that’’s existed since the dawn of man. Only one that’s been studied by billions of brothers and sisters the world over. We’re taking about Bro-Jitsu. From the author of the very successful How to Survive a Robot Uprising comes a hilarious highly informative and completely original guide to tormenting your brothers and sisters. Separated into Offensive, Defensive, and Psychological moves, Bro-Jitsu is a tongue-in-cheek encyclopedia of sibling smackdown, from how to most effectively include pro-wrestling moves in a standard bout to executing a full-body defensive fish wiggle, which will get you out of just about any choke hold or tackle. Throughout the book, diagrams and illustrations of the moves help you in your quest toward Bro-Master status. While teens will enjoy this book, the over-eighteen set will also enjoy reminiscing about their past Bro-Jitsu glories.

This is really a how to book more than anything. But it is campy and fun to read. I didn’t have siblings around to really do any of these things to do. That being said this was actually really fun to read about. I even asked my husband as he did have an older brother and a younger sister and laughed at the names that they put to some of these. I really liked this book and I think that everyone will find it a great read.
