    This book was everything you already knew, put into writing. I diagree with a few of the techniques, but that is because I prectice muay thai not tae kwon do. I also thought there was lots of stuff that was left out of the book. There are lots of things you can do at your house to train for martial arts that were not included in this book. I recoment you go get the Bas Rutten martial arts work out. You’ll love it if you are serious.

    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.

    I bought this book based on the 5 star review but I am really disappointed. Instructions are not clear and in many cases there are no picture showing what the author tried to say. If there are pictures supported text then they are not enough to show the movements. The book is useless for me.

    This book is ok i guess if you have never been in a fight your entire life. The majority of this book is based on common sense and mere karate drills with very little actual formal fighting and pretty much no body mechanics whatsoever. This does make me wonder if I even needed to buy this book in the first place as alot of the stuff in here i already knew (and/or know doesn’t work).

    [1 example of failed body mechanics here is they demonstrate a play fight and the instructor jams the lead punch as a way of disabling his opponent before striking. . . . This is a novice and inexperienced move to say the least. In a real fight if someone jammed my lead punch they would potentially be in a world of hurt. This is just one of the many examples i can give you of this book lacking actual fighting expertise]

    What bothers me even more is alot of the experienced insight of the book is “a friend of mine blahblah” . . . this does make me question the logic (and authenticity) of this book somewhat.

    Surely there is better books out there for your training dollar.

    This book is nothing special. Anyone who knew anything about fighting would already know everything in this book. I bought it expecting to see some unique routines or exercises that would make someone a better martial artist. It tells you to do so many types of kicks and punches everyday, along with over an hour of bag work. I don’t believe boxer do that much bag work, and I would feel wrong sayig Bruce Lee did that much. If you want my advise buy the book about Bruce Lee called “The Art of Expressing the Human Body”
