5.0 out of 5 stars Superb! Real World Resource for Effective Fight Conditioning, 22 Jun 2008

By	R. Donald "Kettlebells Scotland" (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, 13 May 2008

By	John A. Mitchell "John Boy" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

Braulio Estima

2.0 out of 5 stars Look elsewhere, 21 Jun 2008

By	A. F. Hussain - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I didnt think much of this book tbh, its good in the sense that it lists dozens of exercises for different body parts, but besides that, it doesnt offer much more and you need a lot of equipment to follow this book, ie machines and loads of different free weights, plyo boxes, medicine balls, treadmills etc. The nutrition chapter was okay, but besides that, you can find exercises for different body parts using the internet and erxx.net and bodybuilding.com. The programme outlined isnt too brilliant either, the strength programme has a lot of holes in it. if your into MMA/Boxing or just want top notch fitness, i would highly recommend Ross Enamait's stuff; they are fantastic.
