In his best-selling book Speed Training, Loren Christensen showed you how to develop lightning-quick feet and hands. But fast feet and hands aren't enough; developing speed without power will just make you quick and dead.

In Fighting Power, Christensen turns his attention to power. But there is much more to power than just big muscles. Your goal in devel oping power for the fighting arts is not to be able to lift heavy weights; it is to develop greater power in your blocks, punches, kicks, and throws. In this book Christensen shows you how by examining the most up-to-date modern techniques as well as classic exercises some of them thousands of years old--and instructing you how to use both to increase flexibility and power

• showing you how to use resistance exercises, such as free weights, dynamic tension, free hand, and plyometrics, to make you stronger and quicker
• illustrating the proper use of body mechanics, especially hip rotation, to double your power
• demonstrating how Bruce Lee knocked down opponents by using his unique one-inch punching technique- and how you can do it as well
• and, just in case your opponent reads this book as well, teaching you how to defend yourself against someone with extraordinary power

Maximize your fighting power by following the training regimen developed by the author, a martial artist and police officer with 30-plus years of fighting experience-much of it on the streets against criminals who aren't concerned about fighting fair.
