First Sentence
I was 19 years old when I began studying karate in Portland, Oregon, and I fell in love with it the first time I saw that room full of people dressed in their white 'jammies', kicking and punching like a chorus line of dancers gone mad. Read the first page

Good Book But...,
By
This review is from: Solo Training (Paperback)
The book is very informative and gives you a lot of information that would undoubtedly will make you a better fighter. The only problem is that the people who are presented with photos, especially the ones on the front cover have bad technique that slows you down and doesn't let your chi flow but not that the author is to blame.

Just what I needed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Solo Training (Paperback)
Just a quick note to say that Solo Training is easily the best martial arts book I have. Ive been training for 10 years and I found that Christensen presents a ton of variations on old training drills and a host of drills I'd never seen before. I've done many of them, and it will probably take another six months to do all of them, there are that many. Bottom line is that I have been steadily improving by incorporating the drills during my days off from class. Great book.
