Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 796 EAN: 9781880336885 ISBN: 188033688X Label: Turtle Press Manufacturer: Turtle Press Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 336 Publication Date: April 30, 2005 Publisher: Turtle Press Studio: Turtle Press Editorial Review: Book Description: In his follow up to the phenomenally popular Solo Training, Loren Christensen has dug down deep to come up with hundreds of more ways for you to rev up your training at home or in the gym. Solo Training 2 kicks off with a focus on building your body's core for stronger, faster and more effective grappling, kicking and punching. A strong core - your shoulders, chest, abs, hips, and back - is the source of your body's power, speed and coordinated movement. As a martial artist, a strong core helps you to get more out of your training and to respond instantly and effectively to the fast changing demands of competition or an explosive street encounter. You'll also get over 100 ways to work your combinations, cheat speed, improve accuracy, fight from unconventional stances, practice grappling when you can't find a partner and get the most out of your mannequin bag. If hundreds of new training drills sound overwhelming, not to worry. Solo Training 2 wraps up with 8 workouts, each with a specific goal like the Free Hand Power Builder and the Boxer Workout. If you've read your copy of Solo Training to tatters, give it a little time off and dig into Solo Training 2, where Loren Christensen promises to take your fighting techniques and understanding of fighting concepts to a new level.

Rating: - Buy the whole seriesI have the whole Solo Training Series and the DVD and all of them have been jam-packed with great information and practical advice. I wouldn't hesitate to buy anything Loren Christensen has written, it's all first rate. He has a great sense of humor and an easy writing style. But content is king and there's plenty of it in here. I was concerned that the classic Solo Training title had already said everything there was to say on this subject, but I actually like Solo Training 2 much better. It's full ...

Rating: - A must have for all serious training !Returning to the martial arts world after many "stop"-years, i bought several books and dvd on the subject. Clearly and by far, Christensen "Solo Training" 1 & 2 are the best and most valuable ones. From athletic preparation, strenght training, speed and flexibility developement, up to advanced fighting combination on a mannequin, both books covers all aspects. Everything is covered in depth, with clear explanations, sufficient pictures and also humour. I tried the excercises and drills ... Read More Rating: - Another excellent book on solo training I think this second book on solo training by Christensen picks up where the first one left off and adds a whole new dimension to training alone. The hottest thing in the martial arts and in fitness in general is training the core. All kicks, punches and grappling can only be improved by having a stronger midsection, lower back and legs. I bought this book in April and after putting together an easy to do program I found in the book, I noticed a big improvement by June, roughly eight weeks ... Read More |
