Just as previous reviewers of this book have stated, the exercises featured in this book are nothing new. On the other hand, many of these exercises are overlooked in this day and age, which is a shame, because they are excellent conditioning workouts.If you are not a martial artist, don't let the title of this book deter you from buying it. The Hindu Squats and Hindu Push-Ups alone is just one duo of exercises that will build your stamina by astounding leaps and bounds. I first learned these two exercises over twenty years ago from the late pro wrestler Dr. Jerry Graham, and I was shocked to see how these seemingly simplistic calisthenics worked me like a horse.
While the Squats & Push-Ups appear to be the core exercises of Furey's book, he has a fabulous plethora of exercises to tone and strengthen the entire body. You can build quite a personalized home workout, no weight equipment needed, and get great results.
The only shortcomings of "Combat Conditioning" are incomplete editing and lack of availability. There is one section where a succession of photos illustrating an exercise appears in incorrect order. There is no ISBN number to be found. Therefore, the book has a weak presence on the Amazon.com radar, which is a drag, because I bet Furey could sell many copies if the product had more visibility.
Whether you are striving for Mixed Martial Arts stardom or just want to get in phenomenal shape without the price of a gym membership, this book is a good bet. I would love to see another edition of "Combat Conditioning" in publication: neatened up, ISBN'd and ready for easy purchase!
