4.0 out of 5 stars Beyond The Lions Den, 12 Oct 2005
By A Customer
Ken Shamrock is considered one of the fathers of MMA fighting in the world. He started the UFC off and is still fighting today, so this makes him one of the most experienced fighters in the world so anything he has to say is worth listening to. The book is split into 2 parts much in the same way his first book was. Part 1 is all about his life and is a fairly open look at his injuries and personal life and makes for a very interesting read. The second part is all about his fighting system. There are numerous full colour pictures inside the book and everthing from striking to clinch and ground work is included. This book is a gem and whilst some of the material in the book has been seen before in other martial arts books ken puts across his own way and comments. It has a great section on leg locks and some techniques which i had never seen before and have a background in pro wrestling. Look out for his hopping entry to a knee lock which he used against Don Frye in their bout, this is a great entry.

In all the book is excellent, fans of grappling with a gi will possibly find it not technical enough as everything in the book is geared towards no holds barred fighting in the street or ring, however as martial arts books go you will struggle to find better out there for the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars High-quality guide to Ken Shamrock and MMA, 3 May 2007
By T. Bently "tbently" (Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Beyond the Lion's Den is an expanded update of Inside the Lion's Den, which was published over ten years ago. It's divided into two sections covering Shamrock's life story and a second longer section which is a guide to MMA techniques.

The biography part makes Shamrock sound more like a superhero than a real human being but it's well written and entertaining. On the downside the only pictures are from two of his UFC matches (against Tito Ortiz and Kimo) which is a little strange considering the length of his career and the number of images which must be available. Also the photo on the cover is from his pumped-up WWF days which is a bit misleading considering the content of the book.

The second half is a lot better. The problem often with wrestling (or martial arts) books is that the photos are too small or grainy to see the techniques properly. Here there are lots of large, clear photos which show how to complete the manoeuvres really well.

In short this book may not be worth the cover price if you've already got the old version or are a good standard MMA fighter. It works better as an introduction to the sport and it helps too if you're a Ken Sharock fan :)

1.0 out of 5 stars OK for Fans, 13 Sep 2006
This is possibly the worst book ever written I think to get anything positive out of this book you need to be a big Ken Shamrock fan.
