In The Science Of Martial Arts Training, sports science expert and accomplished martial artist Charles Staley draws upon his decades spent studying the training techniques of successful athletes and martial artists to present a competent, insightful, effective, "reader friendly" text covering such issues as strength development, flexibility, speed and quickness, tournament strategy, mental preparation, avoidance of injuries, and proper nutrition for the student of martial arts, regardless of which form or branch is being learned and practiced. The Science Of Martial Arts Training is a superb addition to any personal, dojo, or community library martial arts reference collection.
