  A surprisingly good holographic description of QCD can be obtained from naive
five dimensional gauge theory on a truncated AdS space. We seek to improve the
infra-red description of QCD in such models by using a more sophisticated
metric and an action derived from string theory duals of chiral symmetry
breaking. Our metric is smooth into the infra-red and the chiral condensate is
a prediction of the dynamics. The theory reproduces QCD meson data at the 10%
level.
