I am constantly looking for material to develop and widen my 'Karate and related sublects' Library.
I recently purchased the advertised TWO WEEK SPLITS Ebook which comes with a free 'MASTER MIND' Ebook.
This package IS very reasonaqbly priced (about £11) and includes two very interestingly written (the authors have both made you feel they are talking to you but VERY concise Ebooks that MAY be of interest to those new to things Karate and MA.
unfortunately IMHO oppinion neither Ebooks contain much that is new. They are both simply PDF's with No illustrations of any note and VERY CONCISE content.
The Maste Mind edition is a well written but simple explaqnation of procedures the the US Police are trained in to ensure the correct mindset when dealing with a possible violent event but IMHO the Auther does not accept or seem to even understand that the procedures noted are for use by a person already 'armed' with the fact that they are Police officers and thus dire consequences will fall on anyone stupid enough to attack them. His techniques are OK but definately challengeable and nothing new - especially his comments on acquiring the 'Warrior Mindset' - in fact i wrote similar stuff 30 yrs ago!
Nevertheless - given the price £5.50 they are a shorthand reference IF you have not seen or heard of the advise given.
The Two Weeks Splits PDF is FAR TOO CONCISE and is merely a simple description of a particular stretching procedure that only vaguely touches upon the very serious injuries that can be associated with this system IF a host of other vital procedures are not followed.
It is interesting in itself BUT is, i believe dangerous because of what it does not say and advice rather than its short focus on one procedure.
Tom Kurz's material is leagues ahead and more expensive because it is FAR more detailed and will therefore protect you from the pitfalls.
So I would say - worth a gander if you can afford £11 or $17+ but far too concise and NOTHING NEW!
HOPE THIS HELPS
