I got this book with high hopes but felt let down by the lack of depth and focus in each area covered. The author has tried to produce a full handbook that I suppose you are meant to take around in your kit bag with you and because of this it fails. The production of the book is high, just a shame that they whiz through each section. MMA is a big sport to cover and it would perhaps have been better to produce two volumes one on striking one on the ground game. Worth a read but only if you can get it cheap. There are better books out there for training such as Training for Warriors or Ultimate Warrior Workouts.Training for Warriors: The Ultimate Mixed Martial Arts WorkoutUltimate Warrior Workouts (Training for Warriors): Fitness Secrets of the Martial Arts

A Great Intro!
2 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback
OK. Why consider this book? Well, I have most of the books put out by the Victory Belt and once you own a book by Victory Belt the others out there just dont feel right. First the illustrations are black and white. The Binding wasnt put together for constant use and frankly the techniques in the book have been explained in almost every book on mma that i've ever read.
So why consider this book. THE WORKOUT section is great. Something VB books usually leave out. The VB Company had mentioned a "Couture: The Natural Workout" book but that never happened. So I went out looking and found this work. It even has a Nutrition section that i was relieved to read. The Book is well rounded and i believe it to be of a great benefit to beginners of martial arts. Especially those with single disciplines. Though I have a slight history with many forms I wish i had had a book like this Fifteen years ago when i first started. I think i would be a better version of me lol!
At the Amazon price this book is a steal. Get and use it if youre a beginner. Get it as a refresher if your intermediate. And finally, If you want a pretty cool work out theis book has it pretty well detailed.
Necessary Equipment:
1)Jump Rope
2)Heavy Bag
3)Speed Bag
4)Kicking Shield
5)Striking Pads
6)Free Wieghts
7)Resistence Bands
8)PhysioBall
9)Medicine Balls
10)Sparring Gear
and a Partner is always good.

Buy any MMA book first
30 Oct 2010
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the worst MMA book on the market. I have a bunch of them and this one is at the bottom of my list. If I buy any more, this one will most likely go below those too. The techniques were basic at best. The pictures were not sufficient to be able to determine proper techniques. This book is basically just a bunch of pictures of techniques and then they say this is a right cross...this is a roundhouse kick...this is an arm bar.
Really crappy, and a waste of my money. I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 because at least they didn't have too many spelling errors.

Quality Work! Great Workouts!
6 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback
This is a quality MMA book. It is written by 2 very knowledgable Martial Artists and MMA fighters. The workouts are outstanding. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn MMA techniques or just the training aspects to improve your health and way of life. Very Nice job!
