Great for old, slow guys like me! 18 July 2006

By L. A. Kane

Format:Paperback

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!

Within a few weeks you will noticibally faster, and when it comes to actuall combat, be it on the street or in the Dojo you Will be ready!

Good Sense Ideas 3 Jan 2004

By "poopachang"

Format:Paperback

The makority of the ideas in this book come from the authors own experiences, which mean that they are tried and tested. I can't give it 5 stars as I can't do all the training techniques (lack of training partner). I have learnt positive thinking and relaxation techniques, and yes I am faster. Worth the money.
