Christensen provides a great reference tool for those of us who desire to augment our martial arts training. His no-nonsense book details great tips for improving your punching, kicking, and flexibility. This book has a great "this-will-work-on-the-street" feel to it which is so devoid in other books. I can't stand reading martial arts books that I know won't work in a defensive situation. Christensen seems to have perfected his techniques in the military and through law enforcement. It's not much to pay and you won't be disappointed. You'll return to this book again and again.

If you are a martial arts instructor - this book is a great help for drills which can be used in class.

Solo Training is fantastic! What an amazing teacher Loren Christensen is; he is the martial arts instructor you have always dreamed about. And while his previous books set a new standard in martial arts writing, Solo Training may yet be his masterpiece.

This book is an exciting (yes, his writing is that good!) and enthusiastic exploration of training methods and techniques for training alone, outside of class time. Christensen's exercises and drills are easy to learn, and are the key to becoming excellent in your sport. Within a very short amount of time, you will find yourself surpassing any personal goals of fitness and competency. You will also be surprising your fellow students and instructor with your incredibly enhanced improvement.

No matter what style, no matter what belt, and no matter how many years you have practised, you will never have been able to grasp the whole picture of martial arts without reading Solo Training. This is one hell of a book, one you will find yourself turning to again and again. Thank-you Loren Christensen!
