Summary: Lots of vital info
Comment: Ted Weiman' s Warrior Speed is crammed with information that will help you get that coveted attribute sought after by every martial artist- speed. The author researched and experimented in the areas of physiology, kinesiology and psychology to learn and then document in this book ways to enhance speed of movement, perception and reaction. He has filled the pages with techniques, tactics, and exercises that, when applied with diligence, will bring out your maximum speed. As an author of 12 books on the martial arts, I highly recommend Warrior Speed.
Rating: 5
Summary: This book is great
Comment: Weimann has filled his book with a variety of basic principles and concrete examples of a handful of exercises for improving speed in martial arts. Many parts of this book would be useful in almost any athletic endeavor, and many of the studies cited are on performance in things like weightlifting, running, swimming, and cycling.
If you are looking for simply a series of drills and exercises, then this isn't the book for you. If you are looking to really understand the physics, physiology and pyschology of althetic performance, then this is an excellent text. It may be dry to some readers as it sometimes reads like a scientific review article, but I found the references to research extremely helpful and enlightening. I am a bit more skeptical of some of the psychological drills, but the mind is a complicated thing.
I found a lot of good information in this book that I haven't encountered in other exercise/fitness books, such as why you should take Tylenol for muscle aches but not Alleve (the answer is on page 61) if you want to gain muscle mass.
The only complaints I have are with the title and the binding which doesn't open flat. The title is kind of cheesy. A good description, although very pedantic would be something like: "A Review of Current Research in Developing Speed in Athletic Performance and Suggested Applications of These Principles to Training".
Rating: 5
Summary: Very Helpful
Comment: I practice Kenpo, and have been studying for about four years now. I'm not the best, and I'm certainly not the fastest. After reading Warrior Speed, I'm still not the best nor the fastest, but it did help me to overcome a plateau that hit about four months ago, and I have improved a good deal.
