Solo Training and More

Solo training is that side of martial arts training that moves the practitioner from a novice to a craftsman then to becoming an expert. In this world of fast food and fast food martial arts, many students do most of their practicing in the dojo and unfortunately, they are still being promoted. This book instills the importance of solo training and provides suggestions so one can increase their skills and yet keep it all interesting.

Some of the information is standard primer material, but much of solo training is working on the basics and perfecting those rudimentary techniques. Now to say primer is not to say that this is a picture book on technique, but basic information. Chapter 6, "Odds & Ends Workout" is probably the most interesting chapter that goes beyond that normal martial arts primer. All in all, Christensen's book excels and once again he has produced an excellent text.

A wealth of information and by a great author(s)

I first purchased "The Fighter's Body: An Owner's Manual: Your Guide to Diet, Nutrition, Exercise and Excellence in the Martial Arts" and found it to be very practical and focused on what I needed to focus on as a studying martial artists. I followed this book up with:
- Timing in the Fighting Arts: Your Guide to Winning in the Ring and Surviving on the Street
- Solo Training: The Martial Artist's Guide to Training Alone
- Fighter's Fact Book: Over 400 Concepts, Principles, and Drills to Make You a Better Fighter

All of these are great books and I look forward to selling my house (I had to hide Bob from perspective buyers... that face!) so that I can put Bob in my new garage and start abusing him with all of these new concepts... one by one... it will take a while!

Thanks!

David
