Greg Jackson is the most accomplished and celebrated mixed martial arts coach in the world. In Jackson's Mixed Martial Arts, he brings you into his stable of fighters, which includes UFC Welterweight Champion Georges "Rush" St. Pierre, UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans, UFC Light Heavyweight contender Keith Jardine, and UFC Middleweight contender Nate Marquardt. For the first time, he unveils his methods for developing fight strategies, detailing everything you must accomplish from the moment you sign the contract up to the time you step foot into the octagon. Next, he shares his arsenal of stand-up striking techniques that allow his fighters to dominate the world of mixed martial arts. He shares dozens of striking combinations, counterstriking combinations, takedowns, and throws. Jackson's Mixed Martial Arts also includes something no other technique book offers—a chapter on street fighting that was developed over several years of trial and error. If your goal is to rise to the top of the MMA mountain, Jackson's Mixed Martial Arts is a mandatory tool because it's written by a trainer who's taken several fighters there.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Greg Jackson was born in Washington DC, but moved to the South Valley of Albuquerque, New Mexico when he was six months old. His family didn’t own a television until he was nine, so his early influences were based on books, which built within him a rich history of literature and fueled his imagination. But growing up a white kid in a Hispanic neighborhood, he was forced to fight almost daily to prove his worth.
Jackson soon took to the martial arts to defend himself and became an ardent student of anything and everything that was practical in a fight, including the wrestling that his father and grandfather (both state and national champions) taught him. By seventeen he was teaching his fighting skills to a dedicated few in an Albuquerque dojo and by thirty years old he was the most influential trainer in the growing sport of Mixed Martial Arts. His long list of champion fighters reflects the complete dedication Greg Jackson has made to the evolution of unarmed combat.

Greg Jackson is yoda

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 18, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is a great book for learning about stand up striking. If you do any training in fighting arts at all then alot of this information might be redundant or common sense, but Jackson does include enough new ideas or different executions on combos to make this worth reading. And it is always wise to constantly review your basic punches/kicks anyway. If you can not attack with proper form using the most common basic strikes then chances are success using more advanced striking will elude you. Jackson also includes chapters on developing a game plan going into a fight, and how to protect yourself on the street.

One of the best striking books I have read. Good content. Drills would have made it perfect. Author should consider video to accompany this book.

best book on a subject i've ever read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

Pros
a lot of techniques that actually works from one of the best MMA Coach on the planet
strategy explained
Cons
No drills at all (i'll appreciate if the author will release a 3d book from this series or better a video material with DRILLS!)

PS In case author will release a second edition I would vote for adding the "difficulty to implement" levels to each technique,
cause some technique from the book is really hard to implement (double armbar?) or too risky.

Excellent book for anyone looking to learn mma technique

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 4, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is a great book by greg jackson. It has everything from stance, head movement, footwork,blocking, to striking and defense. The books has a lot of colored pictures, along with explanations to show you how to change (advance) positions. I was blown away by all the stuff in the book. It even has a section on defending against weapons or multiple opponents. Great book. i would have paid up to $50 for it.

Great Book. Every technique and concept is illustrated with pictures that makes the book very easy to read.
A lot of simple examples that are easy to remember. Book is very structured and you can get to the part you want/need very fast thanks to a very detailled table of content.I've received the book in very good shape.
