5.0 out of 5 stars Fitness for Full-contact Fighters, 8 Feb 2007
The book describes how as a martial artist you can also train to improve your fitness. In addition, an excellent description is given of the basic principles for training stamina, flexibility, weight training and diet. Lots of stretching exercises and strength exercises are shown - with everything made easy to understand with clear pictures. The strength exercises comprise exercises with weights and body weight exercises. Furthermore, training plans are presented which are easy to follow thanks to the pictures.
The book is aimed at martial artists in all disciplines. It is highly suitable for people just beginning fitness training. However, people at an advanced level will already be familiar with many of the exercises. The book is attractive, well written and contains motivating pictures.

3.0 out of 5 stars only ok, 5 May 2008
I found this book a little disappointing. Having read others by Loren Christensen for example, this title did not compare well. Very generalised information, the workouts would have been better had they been structured, i.e., warmup, exercise 1, 10reps, 3 sets, increase weight by this amount etc. Overall, a little lightweight. It would be great if an author released a proper training manual for the martial arts with structured week by week programmes of safe, effective exercises.
