This book has Loren's deprecating humor through out.
His scenerio's are first hand experience. Unlike many Martial arts teachers that have never actually been in a "real" brawl.
I have no clue why the MD reviewer thought Loren was the bad guy in the story or why he thinks Loren is the adultier.
Once again, the reviewer did not read the book.

Once again, Loren Christensen has put his money where is experience is. This book is a veritable encyclopedia of fight facts, drills and common sense. It shows that he has spent his 30 plus years experience in the martial arts training, teaching and researching. I cannot say everything about this book so it's best to keep it simple - buy it, train with it and you'll be the better for it.


Very good   January 7, 2002

This is a very good book to improve anyone's game. The only problem I really have, and this is a biggie to many, is that it lacks grappling stuff (otherwise there would be 5 stars). But none the less, it will help everyone at least on a stand up level. Someone above said there aren't enough pictures, but that is because you don't need them. This isn't much of a how to punch or do other moves book, it is more of a book of drills to increase your attributes and does it well with words. This book can especially benefit instructors who are looking for more ways to help prepare students for tournaments, or even just keep students motivated with variety. If my instructor kept the training interesting enough by incorporating some of these ideas, I'd still be training there. Now I'm on my own, but this book has been a big plus.
