Book Reviews of Solo Training: The Martial Artist's Guide to Training Alone
Book Review: Someday, you'll need a practice partner. Until then ...
Summary: 5 Stars
When intermediate martial artists write me for recommendations for training alone, I always recommend "Solo Training." But my recommendation doesn't stop
there.
Even with Loren C.'s book, eventually you'll need to train with a partner. For a realistic sense of timing, distance, and reacting to another individual, you will need another body.
Both "Solo Training" and working with a practice partner are important elements to developing a complete skill. If you don't have the partner, then start with "Solo Training."
And when you do get a partner, work side by side using these valuable drills and exercises.
And even though his drills are for working out alone, some of the speed drills are fun for competition with a training partner.
