the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

I've just released my second book, Systema Solo Training. It covers solo drills for strength, breathing, mobility, flexibility, health, use of equipment and more. Available in paperback or PDF download direct or from Amazon. It's written from a Systema perspective but, of course, the exercises can be done by anyone.

Cool, will buy it once its available on our regional amazon, because I liked the stretching and the ground mobility DVDs.

Thanks Patrick!

Looks cool Rob! Best of luck with it.

Cool I'll try to get a copy as well.

Cool good work Rob!

Thanks guys! Book is selling well and is now on Amazon - please leave a review if you like it

Finally got to reading this in a bid to get some ideas for drills in class. Have to say it is brilliant! Very practical and down to earth but with enough interesting and quirky stuff in there to give you that buzz of excitement when discovering new martial arts related stuff. Pretty much explains what is going on in everything I've seen of Systema on youtube as well so is a good overview.

Weird question....what sort of paper is the paperback version printed on? I like to get a real copy of stuff I enjoyed online but don't like reading on very glossy white paper as I get visual stress.

Many thanks

Thanks, glad you found it useful! The paper for the books is white - it isn't real glossy, but it is white rather than cream.

As it happens I'm just finishing the follow up, this one is about working in pairs and groups, should be ready in about a week or so

well done Rob! Good luck with this.

It is quite a task to finish a good book, from concept to print.

I will be recommending this to a couple of guys.

The new Partner Training book is out now! Available via Amazon or direct from me. Scores of exercises, hundreds of photos, suitable for any style or just for general fitness, strength and mobility
