3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Sart, March 14, 2009

By	Samuel Clements (Midwest) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Martial Arts (Ultimate Guide to Weight Training...) (Paperback)

All of the books in this series are nearly the same which can be a bit annoying. However, I view any weight-training programs offered as just a start rather than as the end all of what to do.

I thought that this book would have been more robust, the exercises in the book are good, just nothing ground breaking. May want to save your dollar if you are an experienced martial artist!
