 Speed Training: How to Develop Your Maximum Speed for Martial Arts August 11, 2005

I have only just started to read the book, but so far it is very exciting with a lot of interesting information that I feel I could try out immediately.
 Great Book, Really Helps! June 6, 2005

Though all the methods and exercises that Loren gives in this book are not for everyone, he states this in the beginning and says that some did not work for him but he left them in so that maybe they worked for others. I really have increased my speed greatly and am still working on all his stuff, whether giving you a speed diet, a weight lifting schedule, or many mental and physical exercises to increase speed (not just movement but also the ability to develop greater peripheral vision and be able to see and react quickly to an attack) he is able to appeal to everybody of different body types, initial speed, and respected style.
Check out more of Loren's books because he writes as if he were talking to you not just stating facts. He even has a few jokes in there so the tone is light-hearted.
Very helpful! April 28, 2005

Whether you're a slow or fast fighter, this book will be of good use to you. It gives you a look at what the best way to train would be. There are exercises of all kinds and bits of advice throughout the book. None of the content in this book is blow-off content, so I recommend this book to all students and instructors out there.

I have a library of over 240 martial arts books. Many are in mint condition; stuff I've read only once, didn't finish, or never got around to. Christensen's are all dog-eared with sticky notes and scribbles in the margins, solid material I read over and over again. As always his advice is practical, useful, and easy to read. I really like the drills he's come up with in Speed Training. I have found them effective not only for myself, but for my students as well. I've been doing martial arts for over 30 years. If he can make this old dog faster, changes are his advice will work for you as well!

Loren Christensen presents speed training in a simple book packed full of concepts, ideas and theories. Unlike most books, Christensen doesn't waste a single page, instead he makes the most out of your reading time. The techniques and drills presented give the reader an endless supply of new training ideas and ways to spice up and speed up every training session.
