A surprisingly good holographic description of QCD can be obtained from naivefive dimensional gauge theory on a truncated AdS space. We seek to improve theinfra-red description of QCD in such models by using a more sophisticatedmetric and an action derived from string theory duals of chiral symmetrybreaking. Our metric is smooth into the infra-red and the chiral condensate isa prediction of the dynamics. The theory reproduces QCD meson data at the 10%level.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figures, small corrections and updated fit
