Book Reviews of Speed Training : How to Develop Your Maximum Speed for Martial Arts
Book Review: Lack Of Speed Is Just As Much A Mental Affliction As A Physical Condition
Summary: 5 Stars
Although I didn't find this book to be perfect, I did find this book to be very well done overall and literally loaded with lots of good solid information covering a wide array of techniques, exercises, and training methods to enhance one's speed. Not only on a physical level, but perhaps more importantly on a mental level as well.
Although some might say that there wasn't enough detail covering all the various methods that is to be expected in a book whose scope is to cover a number of varying methods to improve a singular aspect of ones performance, which in this case is speed. Sure there are a lot of more detailed books out there on any one of the many techniques described in this book, but I doubt you will find that many books out there specifically on increasing ones speed in the martial arts, that has as much quality information in it as this book does.
I highly recommend this book along with the ones listed below to assist you in enhancing your martial arts skills.
