Few trainers or coaches have the education to train someone when it comes to MMA, BJJ, or martial arts in general. This book will serve as a complete guide to exercise as a “warrior” ready for battle as opposed to a body builder or weekend warrior. Although you do need “fancy equiptment or tons of space for a few of the exercises; the majority of the exercises can be completed at home or at a local track. The nutrition section is easy to use as well on the section on how to porperly go food shoping. This is a must have for anyone willing to kick butt on the ring or mats.

I think this book is fantastic. I’ve trained for years and find there are many things that I still need to learn and ‘unlearn’.
Martin, thanks for the many concepts that I am now taking advantage of because of your book. .

This is a pretty decent book full of insights but definately not for beginners or at home trainers. This is serious MMA training best to be done in a gym. If you’re already training in MMA odds are you’re already doing the workouts listed in the book.

Great book for someone serious about MMA training. For older martial artists like myself who train for fun and fitness, a lot of new things to try to incorporate into your workouts for variety and a new perspective.

I didn’t give the book 5 stars for a couple of reasons. One – it is a pretty large book, and not easily carried to the gym and referenced on the spot. There are loads of full page IFL action photos that add a lot of size to the book, and interrupt the flow of the training info. Two – the text actually started to get comical to me with the constant references to “Warriors”. A random sentence; “Today’s warrior knows leg training has to take precedence in a warrior’s strength work”. In that same paragraph I counted the word warrior 7 times! And that’s just one paragraph. . . . The book just seemed geared to a much younger “extreme” type audience.

The exercises and exercise photos are great. I made my own flash notes, stuck them in my training binder and ended up selling the book back to the bookstore. It was just too big to carry around. I can get pretty much the same info from the Hatmaker conditioning book, Ultimate Fitness Through Martial Arts by Sang H. Kim, Combat Conditioning by Matt Furey, and my Kettlebell book, all of which are much smaller and faster to navigate.

Overall, a great workout book, just needs some major condensing.

If you are at the very beginning of your training and have never done sports before in your life then this is a good book for you. If your looking for more of a stratigical more informational book then dont bother. It does give te reader a little insite on the MMA life style and mentality. It is also chock full of quotes form famous people and photos. It takes up alot of the books volume actually is photos and quotes. But mostly about what muscles to target and many ways build them. Has a chapter on nutrition, endurence and a small incomplete chapter about enjuries and mentality. If your looking for something more indept, try something else.
