Book Reviews of Solo Training: The Martial Artist's Guide to Training Alone
Book Review: A Great Training Companion
Summary: 4 Stars
Loren's book gave me lots of ideas on how to vary up my workouts. He's right, repetition gets boring. The mind requires new stimulation. You have to have something new and different to look forward to or you will lose interest in the very thing you love. Becoming bored and losing your edge can be fatal on the street.
This book teaches you how to use every part of the body as a weapon, how to frame up your survival or warrior spirit so that you have the right attitude and mindset for a crucial situation. Keeping your training edge is what this book covers well and keeping that training edge, intensity, combined with a smart approach to training will keep you alive.
Loren takes training seriously in terms of the purpose of the drills and focus on effectiveness. As he states in the beginning of the book, training smart is not pampering yourself. Being tough is only really possible if you are first smart otherwise your body will not be conditioned and prepared for those moments when you need it to be touch. Get this book. Follow his advice and don't assume that you know it all. Read it with an open mind and you will receive more and re-examine your basic assumptions. A great read!
