 Rating:  - NOT A LOT TO IT REALLYIt's not a bad book as such - but it's very basic. Pictures are good - but it needs a bit more content to make it worth the money. Rating: - Better than I expectedThe author packs an awful lot of information into the text; there's hardly any gratuitous fluff.

His products can be viewed at www.rossboxing.com. The forum there is also great. Check it out before you purchase anything else. I think you will be very impressed. I know for a fact that I was, and I own and have read countless boxing and martial arts "how to" books. Todd Reinhard ISSA--CFT |
