OK. Why consider this book? Well, I have most of the books put out by the Victory Belt and once you own a book by Victory Belt the others out there just dont feel right. First the illustrations are black and white. The Binding wasnt put together for constant use and frankly the techniques in the book have been explained in almost every book on mma that i've ever read.

So why consider this book. THE WORKOUT section is great. Something VB books usually leave out. The VB Company had mentioned a "Couture: The Natural Workout" book but that never happened. So I went out looking and found this work. It even has a Nutrition section that i was relieved to read. The Book is well rounded and i believe it to be of a great benefit to beginners of martial arts. Especially those with single disciplines. Though I have a slight history with many forms I wish i had had a book like this Fifteen years ago when i first started. I think i would be a better version of me lol!

At the Amazon price this book is a steal. Get and use it if youre a beginner. Get it as a refresher if your intermediate. And finally, If you want a pretty cool work out theis book has it pretty well detailed.

This is the worst MMA book on the market. I have a bunch of them and this one is at the bottom of my list. If I buy any more, this one will most likely go below those too. The techniques were basic at best. The pictures were not sufficient to be able to determine proper techniques. This book is basically just a bunch of pictures of techniques and then they say this is a right cross...this is a roundhouse kick...this is an arm bar.

Really crappy, and a waste of my money. I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 because at least they didn't have too many spelling errors.

This is a quality MMA book. It is written by 2 very knowledgable Martial Artists and MMA fighters. The workouts are outstanding. I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn MMA techniques or just the training aspects to improve your health and way of life. Very Nice job!

Probably one of the most important point in book review, is for whom a book can be a value.
This book is exactly what I wrote in title, 4star overview for beginers. For advanced trainee with a coach in a club, just maybe interesting reading, nothing more. I hope nobody believe that in 300 pages you can master striking, wrestling, BJJ, conditioning, etc. For such a wide area, it can not go deep. Click the "Look inside" and table of content and see what is included. Or if you are training in a club where coach has no MMA background(gym teacher from school) this is book for you.

It's clear the authors put a lot of hard work into this book. It's a very complete work covering all the aspects of MMA and is a must ready for beginners.

Not going to go too deep, I just expected more. I have years of Martial Arts experience. Buy this book if you like, it's on my shelf collecting dust.

I've been practicing MMA recreationally for about 6 months. I should've picked this up sooner. It's a great book, it's perfect for the beginner, gives you great context into the sport. Covers the basics you need to know, you can use this as a springboard for more learning.
