This is a very well written and laid out basic guide to MMA (mixed martial arts) for not only the fans, but also for aspiring MMA competitors. Written extremely well by noted MMA legend, Frank Shamrock, this book really leaves very little, if anything, to be desired for the average fan.

Sure there are much better books out there on learning certain techniques, but that is not what this book is all about. Although I wouldn't necessarily agree entirely with the title, this book presents the world of MMA in a brief, yet very well done light and although the die-hard MMA fans may not find much new information in it, it would be very hard to argue that this book isn't "THE" book to get in order to enlighten yourself on a basic level to the world of MMA. And in that respect this book is outstanding.

The MMA for Dummies book by Frank Shamrock was very easy to read with a lot of great photos of the exercises and moves. Very helpful for all levels. It isn't just jiujitsu or judo or wrestling but a mix of all the styles of martial arts and his way of thinking is very interesting. It takes you from beginning MMA all the way to being inside the cage, if that's your thing.

I would definitely recommend it.

This book is very well writtten and very well organized. Frank's systems are very applicable and bulletproof. Money spent on this book would be money well spent for anyone looking to expand their knowledge on the art of mixed martial arts.

Great book cant say enough good things about it really breaks down the fundamentals and cant wait to apply them in workouts and training.

If you're thinking of breaking into MMA as either a competitor or as a coach, add this book to your library. As a karateka I already had a pretty good stand-up and kicking game but a limited knowledge of ground work. Frank Shamrock takes you simply through the eight positions of power, giving submission holds for each position allowing the ground game novice to get a well rounded and effective knowledge of simple techniques. Equally, if you're a ground game specialist looking for a bit of advice on stand-up, some sound advice is given too. All the tutorial sections have easy to follow instructions with excellent step by step pictorial guides.

Whilst this book doesn't go into a massive amount of detail, it really does give you all the basic information required to get you started. If you're a complete novice, don't forget that there is no substitute for good instruction so get out there and find an established school with experienced coaches and use the book to help expand your knowledge then hit the roads to increase your fitness. Hard work then more hard work is the only way to success.

I highly reccommend this great book.
