Offering cohesion and clarification for what is currently a loose collection of strategies, this reference delves into the “ground and pound” fighting method—winning a fight by striking an opponent after a takedown. Demonstrating through fight metrics how just as many matches are won by strikes as submissions, this manual addresses the importance of proper “grounding” and lists an array of riding, pinning, and transitioning skills. Following the first element up by introducing an exhaustive “pounding” vocabulary, this guide is key to making stand-up strikers all the more formidable on the floor. Guaranteed to improve the game of even the best submission players, this handbook ensures tighter defense and enhanced offensive tactics, offering a one-stop solution for this vital but often overlooked aspect of the mixed martial arts arena.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good for the Beginner or Intermediate,
This review is from: MMA Mastery: Ground and Pound (MMA Mastery series) (Paperback)
Mark Hatmaker has produced another respectable addition to his NHB MMA Mastery Series with "Ground and Pound".
In the tradition of his other works, he opens up by explaining the reasons and structure behind this book. As is described in the 'Product Summary', he breaks the manual into two sections: "Ground" and "Pound". Each section, consisting of several chapters, includes clear pictures with concise explanations, a list of drills, and some helpful pointers. The materials in this book have been covered extensively elsewhere, but have been compiled here for the express purpose of the illustrating the essential components of GnP. In summary, this is a book that isn't ground breaking for its material or subject but is a solid manual nonetheless.
