Easy to understand and effective

I should say I don't study martial arts. I use this book just for it's good strengthening exercises (although it has good stretches in it, too.) This is a great book for strengthening, especially the torso. I like it because first, the things necessary to do the exercises are inexpensive, second it gives sets of exercises in 4s and 5s, so you can do 2 sets of exercises (I do one upper, one lower body) in about 20-25 minutes...

A must read for rapid progress and injury prevention

Regardless of system, progress in the martial arts requires not only proper instruction, but a high level of general fitness.

It is not enough to go to class 3 times a week and expect your body to perform at a high level when...

Great for Beginners

If you are new to the world of strength and conditioning then this book is for you. It is very basic and easy to understand. The introductions to each chapter are very comprehensive and provide a good rationale for the exercises to follow. The pictures would also be very helpful for beginners. I would have liked to have seen some more creative and advanced strength and conditioning exercises that were less general and...
