4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, March 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Practical Kick-Boxing: Strategy in Training & Technique (Paperback)

This book gives you a good understanding of the basic techniques in kickboxing.It goes into some advanced combonations but mostly basic.There is a brief section on training with thai pads,power shield, and punching bag which gives you a basic knowledge of how to do them.But if you want a good training book, get "King of the Ring" by Benny "The Jet" Urqidez which will go in depth on training with bags and pads.This book is overall pretty good but Benny's book "Karate Dynamics" covers all of the striking techniques plus more.

This is an excellent guide to develop Kickboxing skills. Mr Benny Urquidez is an excellent Instructor & World undefeated Kickboxing Champion. He has bested the best in Kickboxing Worldwide.
This Book will teach you everything from: stretching, fighting techniques, strikes, Using focus pads, medicine ball, speed ball, punching bag, Body Shield. You name it.
His techniques are incredible. You will be glad you got this book. I also recommend this book for students of Muay Thai Kickboxing & Japanese Kickboxing.
However Karate & Tae Kwon Do Students will also find this book Useful. I reccomend that all serious Martial Artists Buy all Benny Urquidez Books & training Tapes & if possible go study at the Jet Center.
Buy the book & you will have your eyes open to incredible fighting combinations.
Good luck in your training.
Phillip Bastians.
