Review # 1 was written on 2018-04-24 00:00:00 Frank Sandoval Great Book! I have been thinking about getting back into martial arts after being away for a long time. I thought using this book for some solo training would be a good way to get my body back into martial arts shape. I used to use solo training back in the day to improve myself. Wow, I wish I had this book back then! I could have gotten so much more out of my individual training time! This book has many great ideas for activities to pursue during your individual training. They are designed (in most cases) to improve your skills in specific areas. I took notes and plan on using several, but here are just 5 of them: - Many drills and great ideas for improving Speed, Power, and Technique of your basic attacks (Too many to list). - Footwork. - Air Grabbing: Great drills for grip strengthening. - Training with different shoes, surfaces, locations, and clothing. - Balance Drills, Falling, and Getting Up (really 3 sections, but I think they complement each other). Only part I don't plan to work on are the more eclectic techniques covered that I am not familiar with (Face claws and the like). Note: This is not a book for newbies who have never trained in the martial arts. The book is targeted to martial artists who wish to augment their training with additional efforts on their own. So, if you are looking to enhance your skills on your own for either the street or tournament, this book provides tons of helpful drills and insight.
