Format:Paperback
Loren Christensen presents speed training in a simple book packed full of concepts, ideas and theories. Unlike most books, Christensen doesn't waste a single page, instead he makes the most out of your reading time. The techniques and drills presented give the reader an endless supply of new training ideas and ways to spice up and speed up every training session.

Format:Paperback
As with all of Loren Christensen's books, Speed Training is written in an accessable style that is fast paced and interesting. Many of the concepts in the book shouldn't be new to experienced martial artists, but unlike some of his other books, this one has a number of unique drills that are very effective, when done. Definately a recommendation to any martial artists library.

This book will help you get faster if you do the drills. The author's writing style is clear and his real life anechdotes are fun to read.
If you are a martial artist or better yet any type of athlete pick up this book, you won't regret it.
