Below is a small selection of comments about Idai’s work:

• "(Home Based Fitness Training) is a must-have for all martial artists ... it doesn't matter what your style is it will be (an) added extra to the training you already... do... The book has all kinds of (stretches) and weight training (exercises)...I have had this book for about 3 weeks and the (stretches) have helped with my flexibility ... The weight training exercises have helped with my strength...so all the exercises in the book have helped with my taekwondo training ... If you want to notice a difference in your martial arts training I suggest you buy this book...You wont regret it..."  T.A.D (from Amazon UK)

• “...I've had your Fitness Training book for awhile and have just started making use of it for the last few weeks. I just wanted to let you know what a great guide I think it is. I'm already seeing an improvement in my flexibility and it is helping with my warm-ups for karate class. I wondered why it had such a big font until I had it on the floor in front of me and followed along with the pictures and text. Of course! I think I originally saw one of your articles in MAI with an ad for your book. I haven't looked through all of your online writing yet, but I will do soon. Thank you for producing such a useful book...” L.P.

• "I sincerely thank you for your words of kindness and of wisdom.  I will take on board your ideas/suggestions and put them into practice straight away.  I thank you!
   
  I must also state, that I am very touched by your response to my email.  You have given me more than enough to begin my "Roadmap".  Again, I thank you Idai.
   
  Your book should be here in a few days time.  I will let you know how I get on with my new journey Idai!
   
   
  Kind Regards and Thank you..." A.H.

• Hi Idai,
  
  "Although I am not taking up a martial art for medical (reasons), I find your website is still very helpful, especially the motivational article...
  
  I have a condition called 'hereditary spastic paraparesis' which affects my legs. Visit: http://www.sp-foundation.org/hsp.htm for more info...
  
  Congratulations on a great, well written, informative site..."   S.C.
  

• "I enjoyed your interview with Clarence Bass very much. I am 60 years old and hope to train and maintain as long as possible..."  E.H.

• “Upon seeing a martial arts magazine article today in Waterstones...you have sparked great interest in me...” M.C.

• “Great six pack...” N.T.

• “I’ve been...exercising since age 14 (1995)...doing boxing...lots jogging... I must say I like your training routines...and reading writings like yours is what I enjoy...the website is cool and the kids are cute...” I.O.K.

• “Sir, I’m 15 and I wanna learn martial arts...but before that my friend suggested that I should learn splits...You have studied Tae Kwon Do. I am contemplating training in the art... I am (keen) to stretch out my legs because of an old injury... in the adductor area. (I think) that (your) stretches will help. By the way, nuff respect on ... your book ...” M.B.

• “The (home-based training routines are) impressive...I am very pleased and can’t wait to see (your) other work...” H.W.

• “Thanks ... for your support, it's great to be part of each other's journey...” I.T. & M.A.

• “...I’ve just read your (training routines) and there (were) a lot of things I felt were relevant to me as a martial artist. I’ve only been training seriously for around 8 months now in Muay Thai and Muay Baan (Ancient Thai boxing and the "street" side of Muay thai.) I train 3 times a week but have now stepped things up a gear and will be training 4 times a week. It’s going well and as you’re probably aware Thai martial arts are very physically demanding... Many thanks...” J.P.

• “Thank you very much for your sound advice Idai... I will put it to good use and will share my successes with you... Thanks and keep well...” L.S.

• “Very impressive (work)...mate... (Good) to see (how) you are looking after (your body) ...and how amazing your body looks... which leads me to say I have to hire you for personal training...!” V.M.
