Summary

Are you unsure whether to focus on strength training or cardio for optimal fitness? "Strength vs Cardio" argues that the best approach isn't choosing one over the other, but understanding how they work together. The book dives into the science behind both, revealing how a balanced approach tailored to your individual goals yields the best results. For example, strength training not only builds muscle but also boosts bone density, while cardio improves cardiovascular health and endurance.

 
The book emphasizes personalized fitness, guiding you to assess your needs, set realistic goals, and design a program that fits your lifestyle. It avoids a one-size-fits-all approach, empowering you to make informed decisions about your health and fitness journey.

 
The book progresses by first explaining the fundamental principles of each training method, then moves on to the specific benefits of strength training and cardio, and finally shows how to combine these two forms of exercise into synergistic routines.

How To Learn Mixed Martial Arts...

HowExpert, Nathan DeMetz

For those of you who have experience in grappling and striking, but do not know quite how to put it all together, this book may be for you. From the beginning to the end, "An Introduction to MMA" verbally and visually illustrates how to combine common techniques from boxing, kickboxing, and grappling into a single art - mixed martial arts. The text focuses on basic to intermediate striking combos, striking to takedown combos, and even grappling combos (submission chaining), not to mention addressing a few other areas as well. Boxing combos lead into takedowns, which lead into submissions or ground and pound, sometimes both, as you work through this text. 
Aimed at helping you put together techniques you already know, "An Introduction to MMA" does not spend a lot of time reviewing the basics from each art, but instead focuses on what techniques from each art flow together. Therefore, if you have a basic knowledge of boxing, kickboxing, or both, and a bit of grappling under your belt, this manual may be able to help you take your skills to the next level, or at least improve what you do know. Either way, you are in for an informative and entertaining read. 
HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.

Striking Distance - Bruce Lee &...

Charles Russo

In the spring of 1959, eighteen-year-old Bruce Lee returned to San Francisco, the city of his birth, and quickly inserted himself into the West Coast’s fledgling martial arts culture. Even though Asian fighting styles were widely unknown to mainstream America, Bruce encountered a robust fight culture in a San Francisco Bay area that was populated with talented and trailblazing practitioners such as Lau Bun, Chinatown’s aging kung fu patriarch; Wally Jay, the innovative Hawaiian jujitsu master; and James Lee, the no-nonsense Oakland street fighter. Regarded by some as a brash loudmouth and by others as a dynamic visionary, Bruce spent his first few years back in America advocating a more modern approach to the martial arts and showing little regard for the damaged egos left in his wake. 
In the Chinese calendar, 1964 was the Year of the Green Dragon. It would be a challenging and eventful year for Bruce. He would broadcast his dissenting view before the first great international martial arts gathering and then defend it by facing down Chinatown’s young ace kung fu practitioner in a legendary behind-closed-doors, high-noon-style showdown. The Year of the Green Dragon saw the dawn of martial arts in America and the rise of an icon. 
Drawing on more than one hundred original interviews and an eclectic array of sources, Striking Distance is an engrossing narrative chronicling San Francisco Bay’s pioneering martial arts scene as it thrived in the early 1960s and offers an in-depth look at a widely unknown chapter of Bruce Lee’s iconic life.
