5.0 out of 5 stars Effective, innovative conditioning programs, November 21, 2007

By	Janet Hagelgans (Silver Spring, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book provides innovative conditioning programs for fighters and martial artists of all skill levels, both competitive and non-competitive. The programs focus largely on calisthenic workouts, but also incorporate drills to improve cardiovascular endurance, footwork, speed, and coordination. Backed by empirical research into kinesiology and tailored to the specific conditioning needs of the competitive fighter, the Fighter's Mind / Fighter's Body training system builds physical and mental skills that are essential to good fighting.

Being a self-defense instructor, MMA practitioner, and boxer, I would highly recommend this guide to any serious martial artist who wants to improve his game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best training book I have seen!, November 27, 2007

By	Alonzo A. Sanchez "W.M.A." (Bethesda MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

WOW!
This book has it all, from fundamental training philosophies to advanced conditioning techniques!

The book is broken up into well established sections that really guide you. First from understanding and creating an effective training system tailored to your style and skills. With the later chapters advancing you through higher skilled level exercises as well encompassing all aspects of training such as exercise, mental conditioning, to rest, and nutrition.

I doubt you will find a book that has as many different training drills and exercises anywhere.
This one is a must for all serious Martial Artists.
