CHOCK FULL INFORMATION

I am a practicing Dai do juku student in Japan. This book has helped me become faster, and stronger against opponents. Being my sytle is full contact, almost no rules all these tips and are very useful even to the very experinced fighter who might have forgotten a thing or two. A very good memory refresher. Buy it and ENJOY!

Very Comprehensive!

I have been in martial arts a short 8 years. Even prior to that time, I had collected a number of training and self defense books. This one is easily the best for training! Although the focus is on more realistic self defense applications, the treatment is broad and addresses fitness and sport applications as well! The writting style is both knowledgeable and humble. The author shows humor about his experience and does not come off as a "know-it-all", as many martial arts writers do.I read 2/3 of the book the first night!

HIGHLY Recommended.

This book is a very thorough, very practical approach to self defense. It contains ideas that I would have never thought of on my own. Not only does the author include all of his years of experience as an instructor and a cop, but he adds drills and concepts from many other experienced instructors. It is a thick book that covers many subjects from different angles. As with Christensen's other books, the ideas and applications in this book are kept on a simple level and are extremely practical. For anyone who is serious about self defense and martial arts, this book is a must-have.

Tons of Info

I've collected martial arts books for several years and I've found this to be one of the best if not the best. Unlike other martial arts writers whose books in which you may find a couple things of value, Loren Christensen always gives you your moneys worth. Fighter's Fact Book is huge - like the subtitle says, it's got over 400 techniques and drills in it. Even those things I have seen before, Christensen has a way of making them seen fresh and unique, so that you learn something new. There was lots of new material, too, things I've never seen or thought of, especially street survival fighting.
