Martial Arts for Athletic Conditioning

Resource Type

Book - Child

Description

"Two mediocre presentations. Athletic Conditioning focuses on Eastern training methods, warm-ups, chi, muscular endurance, strength and stamina, preventing injury, and mental training. Although specific muscles are mentioned for stretching, techniques are not related to muscle groups. Children gives an overview of styles, stretching, philosophy, and falling techniques. Both books have captioned, full-color photographs but the various techniques are illustrated with rough single-color sketches. While neither of these titles is going to capture new converts to the sports, libraries with heavy demand for martial-arts materials may want to consider them as additional purchases." --School Library Journal (barnesandnoble.com)
