FAB BOOK!!!	Customer Rating:
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!!	Customer Rating:
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!

Customer Rating:

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.

Good, simple advice, if you use it

Customer Rating:

This is the kind of book that mostly has you say "Well... I knew that. And that too...", there's very little in here you haven't heard before or couldn't just figure out yourself. But most of us don't bother to do these kinds of things. The best thing about this book is that it gives a concice list of stuff to do, so if you grasp it and start training, you will benefit a lot. A nice bonus is the fact that L.C. is a good writer and has a lot of martial arts experience both in and out of the dojo. Very recommended book for one who is serious about his training.

a good book
