FAB BOOK!!! - By: Mr. S. S. Lall, 29 Feb 2008 
The book is great, far more detailed then the other martial arts books i have purchased. It explains all exercisesin detail concerning kicks, punches & other drills you can do to improve strength & speed, if you already dont have this title on your bookshelf then get it, you wont regret it!
EXCELLENT BOOK!! - By: MARKS, 08 Oct 2007 Loren Christensen is a great author who presents lots of different waysin which a martial artist can train at home. His writing suggests that he has a high knowledgein the martial arts which should give readers a comforting feeling when considering this book. Solo training will always be a part (but not a whole) for every martial artist & this book gives a lot of inspiring content.
Perfect for the home trainer! - By: Richard Marsh, 02 Feb 2004 This book is a must for any martial artist training at home either exclusively or to supplement dojo training. The drills are excellent for the solo practioner & new & interesting techniques are also found within it. Unlike other works on the subject the book does not focus overly on expensive equipment & offers a huge variety of training ideas. Also, Christenson's writing style is light-hearted & you feel you are being taught by someone who knows what they are talking about - he is not pretentious or arrogant (a trap many MA authors fall into) & points out clearly problems which you may find with your technique & solutions to them. Trying to train without a partner? You wont find a better manual.
Good, simple advice, if you use it - By: jackofsometrades, 18 Jun 2003 
This is the kind of book that mostly has you say "Well... I knew that. And that too...", there's very littlein here you haven't heard before or couldn't just figure out yourself. But most of us don't bother to do these kinds of things. The best thing about this book is that it gives a concice list of stuff to do, so if you grasp it & start training, you will benefit a lot. A nice bonus is the fact that L.C. is a good writer & has a lot of martial arts experience bothin & out of the dojo. Very recommended book for one who is serious about his training.
