5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Single-Volume MMA Book, March 16, 2009

By	Plotinus - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mixed Martial Arts Unleashed: Mastering the Most Effective Moves for Victory (Paperback)

Superb book written by a great team including MMA coach Mickey Dimic, UFC Champion Carlos Newton, BJJ whiz Mark Bocek and Britain's kickboxing/MMA star Gary Turner. This book is unique in that it actually explains WHY and HOW everything works. Excellent theory and practice book! Adds a lot of depth to your MMA! A big help in training!

When I ordered this book, I didn't know what I was going to get, but it looked good: written by a combination of UFC champions, amateur MMA champions and grappling and striking specialists in pro MMA, some in UFC others in other leagues. However, besides Carlos Newton, I wasn't too familiar with who the others were, but this is probably more due to my interest in MMA being more in participating than in keeping stats on all the fighters. But, WOW, the book does impress! It takes the mystery and confusion out of the sport by starting with the building block techniques like strikes, takedowns, pins, guard work and subs, and then shows how you link them together, and then how to strategize and train to maximize your chances against an opponent. What I really like is how, unlike it seems every other book out there, they prioritize moves, showing which ones are most common and effective, and not just throwing out an unorganized mess of moves that the player has to experiment with to see what he finds better than what. One other thing I really like is that the book is written for amateur players too. There are more restrictions on amateur events, and this book helps you to navigate through them. The drills in the book are very useful and even fun, and opened my eyes to more efficient ways of training. Many of them are situational based, and the book describes the most "go for" moves from each, for both attacker and defender, and how to do them. The book even discusses about how to transition from a base art, like wrestling, BJJ or Muay Thai, to MMA and what your major holes are that you have to fill when making that transition. This book actually explains everything and doesn't just throw a bunch of moves at you to figure out. Excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An outstanding Strategy, Skills, and Drills guide!, November 12, 2008

By	Canadian Judoka - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mixed Martial Arts Unleashed: Mastering the Most Effective Moves for Victory (Paperback)

This is a terrific book with a unique approach to MMA strategy and training. It combines historical methods proven successful for warriors of the past with modern training techniques to create an outline for MMA success for the present day warrior.

I've found a lot of great training tips and advice in this book for all phases of the game (standing striking, clinch, and ground), and think the fundamentals and fighting strategies are spot-on.

If you want to excel in MMA, I think this is an important book to read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introductory to Intermediate Mixed Martial Arts Book, August 22, 2010

By	C. H. Jones "Bongo Jones" (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Mixed Martial Arts Unleashed: Mastering the Most Effective Moves for Victory (Paperback)

This is one of the shorter, most down to earth, and practical overviews of MMA fighting styles that I have run across. The authors did a very good job of writing and structuring the book's contents, giving newcomers --and more advanced practitioners-- an introduction to the history, culture, goals, classic techniques, and modern variations.

One thing I particularly enjoyed was that the authors allocated a fair amount of the discussion to Judo. It seems to me that Judo is often overlooked as a functional set of techniques that can serve any MMA athlete quite well. For example, fighters such as Mikey Dimic (one of the authors) and Karo Parisyan have fared very well using judo on the mats and in the octagon, with Mickey winning two world titles in Sport Jujitsu, and Karo holding the UFC welter-weight title belt for a period of time.
