Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you are new to the world of strength and conditioning then this book is for you. It is very basic and easy to understand. The introductions to each chapter are very comprehensive and provide a good rationale for the exercises to follow. The pictures would also be very helpful for beginners. I would have liked to have seen some more creative and advanced strength and conditioning exercises that were less general and more specific to martial arts, but as I read I quickly realized that this book is not geared toward strength coaches, but rather those students who may not know too much about strength, flexibility, nutrition, or plyometrics. This book would be great for any martial artist who doesn't know how to supplement their in class training with an out of class workout.
