4 out of 5 stars Great for fast people and even better for someone is slow.   July 30, 2007

This book is filled with alot of great knowledge on what creates speed, building or having a basis for speed, and improving your overall speed. Also he doesn't go into these complicated scientific explanations of how speed works. I mean come on, if we were smart enough to be scientists why would we be training to fight right? lol. However, I feel that the author spent alot of time reiterating the same points over and over again. That's good for people who have a hard time learning things the first time. For me it made me really the read boring at certain points cause I usually grasp concepts very easily especially when it comes to improving my arts. That's the only reason why I gave this book 4 stars insted of 5. But it's definatly worth it.

I just received this book a few days ago. I have read it through and have already started to incorporate some of the techniques into my training. One thing I enjoy about Mr. Christensen's books is his writing style. They are written clearly and with humor.

I recommend this book to any martial arts student that feels like they have plateaued on speed. The relaxation methods really work and the speed drills are fun and really make a difference. Buy this book, read it cover to cover and use the authors techniques to make yourself faster than you ever thought possible.


5 out of 5 stars You more than likely need this book   August 4, 2006

This is a very crafty book. What I liked is that author included some internal methods of helping your speed- things like relaxation meditation and so on. Mr. Christensen mostly uses karate for excercise examples but it's still a useful book for the practicioner of any style- a speed is a speed whether you practice Wing Chun or Karate. You WILL find some important/interesting info, whether you are a beginner or a vet.

I have only just started to read the book, but so far it is very exciting with a lot of interesting information that I feel I could try out immediately.
