 Great book for people who do the combat arts October 31, 2003
5 out of 16 found this review helpful
Great info for people who do real world styls like jeet kune do or kenpo. Not so great for people who use arts that should never be used for fighting in real life like karate and tae kwon do.
 Another excellent resource -- a companion to Solo Training May 23, 2003

If a person has this book and Christensen's Solo Training, then they have the groundwork for practicing the basic fundamentals of Karate (and other martial arts) with all the various "one-person drills" they might need to assist with technique. Certainly, one's own Sensei and system will provide bunkai, kata, and wazas or "one-steps," but these two books provide a solid foundation to use to drill yourself and monitor yourself with basic techniques. I recommend them both as essential reference for the martial artist. R, Shodan, Okinawan Shorin-Ryu

While the advice given in the book might be construed as simple by many in the martial arts community, it is necessary information nonetheless. I recommend this book to martial artists of all caliber, but especially for beginners.
Outstanding August 14, 2002
Anything and everything is covered in Fighter's Fact Book. It's a great reference when I need a quick idea as to what to work on in my personal training or when I'm teaching a class.
The book jacket says there are over 400 training tips, concepts and principles. It seems like more. Every time I pick it up I get a new idea or I find a new variation on a subject I thought I already knew everything about. Christensen's books are always highly informative, funny and aimed at street survival. I have been training for 20 years and I highly recommend them.
 Not In Depth August 7, 2002

Loren's book had good principles that every novice should know. The only complaint that I have is that this book merely skimmed the topics and didn't go far enough into detail that was needed. I would recommend that you read this book only if you have no background knowledge whatsoever on training. I would not, however, recommend this book to any advanced student.
