Reviewer: Eric Boucher from Ottawa ONT CANADA I have modified my training based on the ideas in the book, and found noticable difference in the results of each training session. A very good book for anybody in any sports
Reviewer: R Keyes from Lansing MI I just purchased the book and am very impressed. While the style I practice is a very traditional combat-oriented Okinawan style, this book had some very practical training drills that I will be incorporating into my training beginning next week. Even though our style does little or no sparring (that's for "sport" karate) I enjoyed the section on sparring techniques. If you are looking for some practical suggestions to supplement your training---whether you are a combat or sport stylist, this is one of the books I would recommend you pick up.
Reviewer: Mike Selby from BC Fighter's Fact Book has quickly become one of the best martial arts book ever written. It has set a new standard, one in which all other books are being measured to. Loren W. Christensen has studied, practiced, trained, and taught martial arts for over 35 years; now how he has put all he knows into this incredible book. I have wasted a lot of money and time on many other training books, but none even compared to Fighter's Fact Book. Regardless of your style, or if you are a white belt or a tenth degree black belt ninja, Christensen has something to teach you. His book has helped me focus my training, and instead of going with the motions in class, now I am excelling. This book is everything you ever wanted to know about martial arts training. Huge, huge thanks to Loren W. Christensen and Turtle Press. It is about time somebody got it right!
Reviewer: Bradley Ryan from CO I was glancing though this book at the bookstore, and found that I couldn't put it down. That's the best indication a book is worth the money. It is very well written. Many martial artists complain that their training gets stale or routine. This book has tons of nuggets that will keep any martial artist, regardless of level, busy for years.
