Review
"Rooney gets the most out of MMA fighters. He doesn't stop at physical conditioning. What separates him from other top-flight trainers is his strict emphasis on being mentally prepared."--Frank McNeil, ESPN.com

This book is essential for all fighters but also can help any athlete or coach that is looking for an advantage on learning how athletes train. Loaded with full colour photos and detailed explanations, "Training for "Warriors reveals the secrets of warming up, weight training, endurance training, mental training, nutrition, weight cutting, and strategy development that the top combat athletes in the world use to win IFL, Pride Fighting, UFC, UCC, and ADCC championships. If you are a grappler, wrestler, MMA fighter, boxer, judoka, or just a fan of combat sports, you too can begin training to be a warrior.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Martin Rooney has effectively given us the conditioning road map. The book is of the highest quality, the photographs are excellent, the editorial succint and clear. For anyone who want the conditioning edge, this is the book.
Fighter or not TFW provides a broad range of excercises and drills. The book follows a logical path giving an overview of MMA and then gets into Warrior Anatomy covering warm-ups, training by bodypart (don't confuse this with traditional body split training) and then goes on to cover specific programs, nutrition and injuries. You can follwo the programs or mix it up and simply focus on the areas that you need to work.
As for the weight training aspect, I'm a RKC Kettlebell instructor and consequently the Kettlebell is my tool of choice. I simpy us kettlebell drill and lifts to replace the conventional weighted drills.
The most valuable aspect of TFW is the way it translates many conventional drills into a MA context.
Most important, once you've read the text, looked at the pics...Go Train!

This review is care of double World Champion ju jutsu fighter Braulio Estima who owns and uses this book
Braulio's first language is Portuguese.
"... This book was very well set up for fighters who want to have a good
quality on the strength and conditioning specific for fighting. I used
and still using most of the workouts. For the Abu Dhabi 2007 I did
loads of it on the last case of my training and I found that helped a
lot on my results. Hurricane workout is awesome. Well done Martin
this book is 10 out of 10, I do recommend for everyone who wants to be a
warrior.

This chunky guide looks great. It's large format with lots of quality colour photos of the techniques.
The focus is purely on conditioning, so there are no instructions on punching or kicking for instance but it includes lots of stuff general gym manuals would ignore, like neck exercises which are important for wrestling/MMA but not much use to other athletes.
Over all, this is great value just because it's so clear and comprehensive.
