This review is from: Power Training in Kung Fu and Karate (Paperback)
This is the best workout book I have ever read or used. Performing the exercises in this book brought me tremendous results in a very short time. The book outlines programs for the beginner and the pro. I highly recommend the use of this book for the serious body builder.

This review is from: Power Training in Kung Fu and Karate (Paperback)
Even though this book first came out in 1974; nevertheless, the information it contains is timeless. I have personally used many of the routines and found them excellent programs that helped me become better at karate and jujitsu. The sections include tips for using this book, which gives general training tips. The next section is a glossary of weight lifting exercises. Weight training routines are in the next section, followed by various hand exercises. Section five is my favorite because it shows various practical applications of karate and kung-fu. Section six shows various stretching exercises and a few body weight exercises. In conclusion, this book is for anyone who desires to learn how to combine weight training exercises along with your martial arts training.
Rating: 4 stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Samurai Aerobics: The Kenjutsu/Kendo Workout Program)

Great book!,
By Ken Wilkinson (Kawasaki, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Power Training in Kung Fu and Karate (Paperback)
This is one of the best common-sense books available. No mumbo-jumbo, no mystical nonsense. Instead it offers sensible and practical basic bodybuilding exercises. From a purely bodybuilding perspective however, its easy to find fault, but considering that most martial artists are more concerned with catching flies between chopstix than benchpressing, the text is suitably pitched.
