Summary: A helpful tool for cuts and definition.
Review: There used to be this older gentleman, who, during the summer, worked out by the pool at the complex I lived at. He was 52, six feet tall, 185 lbs of ripped, lean, muscle. Alot of people thought he was into some variation of yoga. I approached him and asked him on what he was doing. Then he told me about an accident that resulted in extentsive damage to his back. Being a lifelong weightlifter, he knew his days of pumping iron were over, so he had to find other means of building muscle. He got into Dynamic Tension exercises and Dynamic Strength was one his recommended resources. I borrowed the book and found that the exercises that Harry Wong demonstrates were easy to do, but provided a hard workout. I would definetly reccomend this book for anyone looking for an alternitive to weight training. I use Dynamic strength to supplement my weight progam and it has helped add cuts and definition to my 210 lb build. I also reccomend useing this in conjuction with Matt Furey's Combat Conditioning as well. For a weight free workout, these are top of the line!

Summary: Great information
Review: This book has some great information on ways to improve strengh and tone without having to spend hours at the gym or using cumbersome equipment at home. Although it was well written, excercise descriptions can tend to be confusing regardless of how detailed. I purchased the video, as well, and that DEFINITELY cleared up any confusion. The information provided allowed me to get an understanding of the principles behind the workout and modify them as I needed. Many people can benefit from the information contained within; you don't have to be a martial artist.

Summary: A no-equipment method of increasing strength
Review: This book is a great deal considering it's price. The author shows and describes every exercise in detail and I had no problem following right along from cover to cover. The main advantage of this system is that virtually no equipment is required to produce results. Many of the exercises can be performed in "odd" places such as at school, the office, etc. The system is a strength building system (not cardio) so in many ways it is similar to weight lifting without the stress. It is the ideal low impact system for those that want to develop additional strength.

Summary: Great Exercises
Review: This book is great. The warm-up exercises alone are worth the miniscule price of the book. The first time I used the book, my neck and shoulders felt so much looser after doing the rotation exercises. I wish there were more stretching postures (so minus one star)---but then again, this is a book about strength, not stretching. For such a small price, give it a try!

Summary: Great method of working out
Review: This book is perfect. It is simple, cheap, and HIGHLY effective. Even if you do not do all the techniques in this book, this principle behind the exercises can be applied to ANY MOVEMENT. The possibilities are limitless. If you do these exercises slower, you will build bulk, and if you do them faster, you will increase definition and hardness. This book is genius. It will allow to achieve ANY build that you want.

Summary: Excellent Work-out, Awesome Book
Review: This book offers a very effective work-out routine. It requires no weights, but you will still get very good results without them. Heavy weights also tend to be more damaging than beneficial, and they really aren't necessary. This book shows you that, and it provides an awesome alternative work-out routine. It has a basic work-out and then a bunch of supplemental excercises that concentrate on specific areas of the body. I love the fact that a lot of the excercises focus on your joints and areas that can be igonored (like your neck, knees, elbows, etc.). This book is not about beefing up or building a lot of mass, it's about getting strong, flexible, and more nimble. Harry Wong has written a very comprehensive and easy to follow work-out book. With this book there is no need to go to a gym and pay extreme amounts of money to get in shape. You don't even need weights, a few excercises require chairs (like concentrated push-ups, chair dips). It's all about using your own body weight or muscle tension to build up specific areas of your body. It will make you stronger and more toned, as well as more flexible. I am really glad i ordered this book, and doing the exercises has improved my body and mind's health. This is an especially good book for people who are interested in or who practice a martial art. But i would recommend this book to just about anyone, especially for the ....

Summary: speed training
Review: This exercise program is essential for any martial artist who wishes to develop awesome speed. Ted Weisman shows in his comprehensive book "Warrior Speed" that strength training is essential for speed. Lifting weights does the most to enhance top speed, while isometrics give you the best acceleration speed. Both aspects of speed are essential for the martial artist. Dynamic tension gives you the benefits of both. Dynamic tension build fast twitch muscle fiber, teaches higher muscle recruitment, and helps kill the neurological defense mechanisms that prevent you from moving at maximum speed. It is one of the clearest and easiest books to read and understand with clear pictures and explanations. This program will highly benefit martial artists of any level.
