 Don't think of it just for punches and kicks May 7, 2007

I have no reason to fight people on the street however this book has some insights into how the body can be better trained for the fighting I do do. I fence and do Kendo and the chapters that focus on the fists have some excellent quickness and distance drills. Nearly all the other chapters have something that can be applied more generally to quite a few martial arts, even fencing. The philosophy behind the training ideals are in pretty good standing seeing as I have started to study Musashi and several other ancient martial philosophers. Mr. Cristensen has a very good look at the physical, mental, and philosophical side of the martial arts. I would recommend this book as a supplement to training and not to be taken by itself, although it is good and has many good ideas for those that have an idea of the terminology he is using.
A Martial Arts Must-Have April 12, 2007
Any martial arts practitioner should have this important reference book in their library. This guide explains which techniques work, and which do not.
Great! April 11, 2007
This book is awesome for both the novice and the advanced student. While I only picked up a few new things, it was a great reminder of all the things that I have learned over the years and most of which has slipped my mind. Highly recommended!
Fighter's Fact Book.........a great suppliment for today's martial arts teacher January 13, 2007

Mr. Christensen has put together a fighter's manual that speaks volumes for the modern martial arts practitioner. Keeping to a basic, non-embellished vernacular, he lays out in plain english what works and doesn't work when training in fighting techniques. As an instructor myself, I found this manual to be invaluable as a tool for putting into words what most successful martial artists feel in their hearts and gut regarding the fighting instinct. The challenge for the instructor, daily, is how to convey these inherent and aquired insticts to the student in a manner that is easier to understand and absorb. This book helps the readers to better understand theirselves and allows the light to come on much more quickly. I highly recommend this work as an essential foundation to the library of any martial artist, student or teacher.
Excellent for beginers May 28, 2006

I am totally new when it comes to martial arts. I am 25yrs old and decided to begin taking MMA classes. As a supplement to my training, I wanted something that I could do by myself. After searhing through the hundreds of books on the internet, Barnes $ Nobles, etc., I ran accross this book that simplified everything. I like this book because it is more of a guide to help you in what you know and what you are the most weak at. Like someone said in an earlier review, they're not secret techniques but it simply puts it all here in a convinient book form.
