The Mixed Martial Arts Instruction Manual: Striking Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had been eagerly anticipating this books release since I first heard it was coming out a few months back. Needless to say, I wasn't disappointed.
The layout and format for this book is very well done and it abounds with literally hundreds of full color photographs printed on glossy paper to ensure their richness and clarity, and this is just the aesthetic properties of this book, and I haven't even got to the quality of the actual content, which is nothing short of fantastic.
For the most part, the techniques themselves are described in very good detail to go along with the numerous photographs depicting the actual technique. However, there were a few instances were I felt that a little bit better description would have been appropriate. But please don't let this even be anything more than a minor inconsequential annoyance compared to the wealth of material that is presented here. The author does a very good job of providing a lot of good solid information on a variety of subjects, although no great amount of in-depth discussion is really given to any one subject.
The following is a list of the main topics and the sub-topics which are discussed in this book.
1. STANCES & FOOTWORK
A. Stances
B. Footwork
2. COUNTER MOVEMENT
A. Evasive Techniques
B. Parries and Blocks
C. Checking Techniques
3. STRIKING TECHNIQUES
A. Punches
B. Elbows
C. Kicks
D. Knees
4. ATTACKS
A. Same Stance
B. Opposite Stance
C. Feints
D. Striking to the Clinch
5. COUNTERATTACKS
A. Same Stance
B. Opposite Stance
C. Countering Kicks
Each section is loaded with sound well-rounded information and goes over numerous techniques and combinations. This is definitely a book that any aspiring MMA fighter wants to own in order to improve their fighting skills in the cage. I would highly recommend this book without any reservations whatsoever. Here are two other books that I would also recommend.
Wrestling for Fighting: The Natural Way
Mixed Martial Arts: The Book of Knowledge
