Access the Key to Becoming a Superior Fighter!
What essential quality do all champion fighters possess? Simple. They possess the attribute responsible for making all combat training applicable--speed.
Regardless of your combat style or method...you cannot apply it unless you can react quickly and respond instantly. Razor-sharp speed and reflexes are often the sole difference between winning and losing a physical confrontation.
Based on proven concepts of martial arts masters, such as Bruce Lee, this bestselling guide provides advanced training methods to maximize speed and power for combat and self-defense.
Learn The 7 Keys to Superior Fighting Speed...
1. Visual Exceptional visual reflexes allow you to recognize, track, distinguish, adapt to, and counter movements with precision and confidence.
2. Tactile Learn to instantly feel what the opponent is attempting to do by quickly interpreting the direction of his body force. Ninety-five percent of all fights end up in close range. Be prepared!
3. Auditory It is important to react quickly to what you hear. If you have ever experienced blind sparring, or fighting in the dark, you know the importance of this attribute.
4. Adaptation This component deals with your mind's ability to instantaneously select the perfect action in response to an attack or opening. Learn to respond quickly, accurately, and seemingly without thought.
5. Initiation It's not how fast you move, but how soon you get there that really counts. Train yourself to make your movements felt before they are seen.
6. Movement Movement speed is the ability to quickly transfer part or all of your body from one place to another. It is the speed that is most recognized by the public at large. Don't be concerned with "demonstration" speed. Focus on developing the "applied" speed that will help you overwhelm and subdue an opponent in seconds.
7. Alteration Learn to quickly change directions in the midst of movement. Through mastery of body mechanics, you can develop the ability to stop your movement instantly...just in case you initiate a wrong move.

This is a very easy read. If I have to summarise it- start practicing wing chun, krav maga, eskrima or something similar. As a novice in these I recognised almost every single chapter in the training session I have had. Check out the book, the information is correct in my personal experience.

There are a few decent exercises in here and some good suggestions, but the author never really pulls it all together into a comprehensive program.
