About the Author

Loren Christensen began his law enforcement career in 1967 when he served in the army as a military policeman in the United States and in Vietnam. He joined the Portland, Oregon, Police Bureau in 1972 and retired in 1997. During those years, he specialized in street gangs, defensive tactics, dignitary protection, and patrolling the bizarre streets of skid row. He now writes full time and teaches martial arts.

This review is from: Speed Training: How to Develop Your Maximum Speed for Martial Arts (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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Packed with good ideas, Sep 4 2003
By 
Joe Birsa (Pittsburgh, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Speed Training: How to Develop Your Maximum Speed for Martial Arts (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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good writing style and advice, May 4 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Speed Training: How to Develop Your Maximum Speed for Martial Arts (Paperback)
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.
