 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.
 Great Book July 26, 2007

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.

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.
