Customer Reviews

FAB BOOK!!!
The book is great, far more detailed then the other martial arts books i have purchased. It explains all exercises in detail concerning kicks, punches and other drills you can do to improve strength and speed, if you already dont have this title on your bookshelf then get it, you wont regret it!

EXCELLENT BOOK!!
Loren Christensen is a great author who presents lots of different ways in which a martial artist can train at home. His writing suggests that he has a high knowledge in the martial arts which should give readers a comforting feeling when considering this book. Solo training will always be a part (but not a whole) for every martial artist and this book gives a lot of inspiring content.

Perfect for the home trainer!
This book is a must for any martial artist training at home either exclusively or to supplement dojo training. The drills are excellent for the solo practioner and new and interesting techniques are also found within it. Unlike other works on the subject the book does not focus overly on expensive equipment and offers a huge variety of training ideas. Also, Christenson's writing style is light-hearted and you feel you are being taught by someone who knows what they are talking about - he is not pretentious or arrogant (a trap many MA authors fall into) and points out clearly problems which you may find with your technique and solutions to them. Trying to train without a partner? You wont find a better manual.
