5.0 out of 5 stars The Way Alone, July 2, 2009
By Adam Henson (Titusville, FL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Way Alone is a great read. It has very helpful information for beginner level martial artists to make the most of their time between classes. Mr. Christensen blends many techniques for improving every aspect of fitness, whether you're going for your next belt or training for a tournament.
