Summary: Like the Sport Science Section
Review: I like the content. I've done cardiokickbox and stuff the last five years and enjoyed the section on sport science and heart-rate based training. Some of the photos were a little dark and I noted a few typos but I suppose that may be a editorial issue and not necessarily the author's problem. I've put the book in my "recommended" bookcase.

Summary: Not a System
Review: I thought the book intended to introduce a system but it's more of an approach. This worked out okay for me and I learned some useful stuff. I liked the section describing the "component skills" or things a martial artist should do to be phsyically well-rounded. I also liked the authors' description and testimony regarding creatine (since it's such a controversial subject). My instructor read it and liked it too.

Summary: That's different!
Review: It wasn't what I expected. It seemed part memoir, part polemic, and part science. I think I was expecting "use this technique to excel." I was a little cold toward the 'Spiritual Considerations' in section 2 initially but warmed to it more as I understood the book's intent and the author's application. I'd say it's a good read for those already grounded in the arts who want to apply themselves more energetically to their pursuites.
