Book Review: Reliable book from experienced authors
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't read it all yet. Maybe a half of it. But it explains how your
body functions. What should you and should you not eat and why some
people need to follow these rules more then the others to succeed in
martial arts. Very understandable, cover and pages are good quality.
