GREAT BOOK! Cheap training equipment for the artist with a budget! With training weapons and materials becoming more and more expensive, this book will teach you how to make everything from training knives to kicking shields. Some really great designs and innovations. Highly recommend.

I guess if you have no experience making anything or imagination or money to buy actual equipment, it could be a good book for equipment ideas. I was hoping for more of a how to to build your own stuff, this book is more of a "grab this and use it for this". Most of the substitutions are pretty poor really and WILL NOT work for any type of contact training. EX: Stuffing carpet padding into a duffel bag and hanging it up as a heavy bag. This will weigh about 3-5 lbs when done and have no resistance to impacts. A nerf ball would probably work better.

Gave my book copy away.
