Summary: Fantastic Book On MMA By A Fantastic Fighter and Instructor!
Comment: One of the most notable pieces wisdom that one can take from this book is also one in which I have been a firm believer in for many years, and which is best explained as follows; One should have a core art that he practices and then incorporate those aspects in which the individual is comfortable with from the many different styles available. In other words, if you core art was boxing, then you would want to pick up different techniques that you were comfortable with from different styles and then learn to incorporate them into your core art, which in this case is boxing. You don't want to separate them, but learn how to get them to flow together into a seamless blend of techniques in which you are proficient in. Great advice! Shame that not too many people follow it though.
The book itself is well put together with loads of color photographs printed on glossy paper really stand out and add tremendously to the overall quality of the book.
The author does a really nice job of presenting a wide range of striking and grappling techniques that one would find very beneficial competing in the MMA arena. Obviously this isn't the only book on the subject, and there are others out there that are just as good, but this book would definitely make anybody's Top 10 List of MMA instructional books.
I would highly recommend this book along with Wrestling for Fighting: The Natural Way and pretty much anything by the Gracie's to improve your MMA repertoire of grappling techniques. Here are just a few.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Theory and Technique (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu series)
Gracie Submission Essentials: Grandmaster and Master Secrets of Finishing a Fight (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu series)
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Submission Grappling Techniques (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu series)

Summary: Good book for No-Gi Grappling and Submissions
Comment: The book is straight forward. BJ shows the reader how to hit the submissions from two views...the front and the back view. Before he shows the move he gives the reader background information or the mindset he's in before and while he executes the move. Good book. Recommended for anyone interested in no-gi fighting. This book is for anyone who competes in mixed martial arts or grappling competitions.
