Product Description
Take the Warrior Challenge - let top trainer Martin Rooney get you into the best shape of your life. Packed with hundreds of little-known training secrets of the top international fighters in every discipline, this book is indispensable for athletes or coaches of any sport looking for a winning advantage. Rooney offers hundreds of exercises, covering everything from warming up, weights, kettleballs, isometrics, and gauntlet circuits, to bone tempering techniques, and other never-before-seen exercises, as well as priceless advice on mental training, flexibility, and nutrition. This title includes hundreds of never-before-seen exercises from the four corners of the earth, demonstrated in nearly 1,000 full-colour training photo. It features: explanations of the history, training, diet, and philosophy behind each martial art; 3 Eight-Week Warrior Workouts which can be combined for 6 complete months of training; 12 Warrior Challenges to assess fitness levels (1-10) as warriors progress in the program; and, cutting-edge nutrition information for athletes, from Sports Dietetics Specialist (CSSD) Glen Tobias. And these aren't just training techniques from the local gym. Rooney traveled to the top fight destinations in the world, from Russia to Thailand, to train with the experts in the core traditions that comprise Mixed Martial Arts: Judo, Karate, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Sambo, Boxing, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai. In each country, Rooney studied with the last living masters to discover their training secrets. The stunning full-colour training photos in this book were all taken at the locations these fighters have trained at for centuries, from the slopes of Mount Fuji to the beaches of Brazil.

Format:Paperback
After years of poor quality martial arts guides with fuzzy (or non-existant) pictures, it's a relief that a new generation of books has arrived, making full use of modern colour photography.
All the moves and drills here are accompanied by large photos and includes a lot of exercises (such as neck ones) which you wouldn't usually find. There are separate sections for boxing, judo, wrestling and karate drills.
Overall this is a large, good-value book for MMA fighters looking for sport-specific training hints to improve their match stamina.

If you train then there is not much new here, but an interesting book with ideas from around the world, I was interested to see how combat systems I am not familiar with train. well written and good pictures, I picked up a few ideas.
If you are new to training and don't get the chance to train at a club then this book and Martin's other one are great starting points on combat specific conditioning.
