William A. Pitts

Very good book!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 19, 2010

Verified Purchase

This book majors on the striking nuances and the section from Tompkins are especially good. He really brings out good material. One part that bothered me was a couple techniques where they led with left hooks which is a cardinal sin in boxing unless they are counter punches or follow in a combination of punches. Just ask the last guy that fought Fedor Emelienko that tried to lead with a left hook and Fedor jumped all over it with a straight right hand that floored the guy. But they did cover some good material on combinations, going from striking to takedowns and defending against certain techniques. The best book for mixed martial arts IMO is "the book of knowledge" by B.J. Penn. But it covers more ground techniques and doesn't go into detail on the stand-up like this book does. I would highly recommend this book to those with a background in it already.

Great guide for stand up and take down attacks and defense

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book really help you use combinations in martial art. The attacks and defenses are combat proven in MMA, so you do not need to be afraid the the moves are just for flashy demonstration. They are indeed effective and the coach stress on the fact that the guide in the book will help you but you can also develop you strategy according to your preferences.
It does not show a lot for ground fight , but it does not matter as my preference is stand up attacks, guards and knock down instead of submission of opponents.

Best Stand-up MMA book on the market

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 18, 2012

Verified Purchase

Other reviews have covered the book in detail, so I'll just confirm that this is the best book on the market on the stand-up facet of MMA fighting. Having multiple perspectives provides insight in a way that most traditional single author books do not. And, as each of these perspectives is from a professional who is at the top of the class in the particular aspect of fighting that he is discussing, you can be assured that the information has already been proven to be successful.

The Ultimate Mixed Martial Artist is presented in three sections:

Part One: Striking
Areas covered include stand-up striking (punches, elbows, kicks, and knees), striking combinations, and counterstriking.

Your Mentors: Shawn Tompkins, Forrest Griffin, Shawn Yarborough, and Anuwat Kaewsamrit.

Part Two: Striking to Takedown and Takedown Defense
Areas covered include transitioning from striking to the takedown, counterstriking to the takedown, and defending against being taken down.

Your Mentors: Jon Fitch, Greg Jackson, Forrest Griffin, Shawn Tompkins, Anderson Silva, Karo Parisyan, Erin Toughill, and Dave Camarillo.

Part Three: The Clinch
Areas covered include dirty boxing clinch, Muay Thai clinch, wrestling clinches, takedowns from the clinch, and progressing from the clinch to the takedown and then submissions.

Your Mentors: Randy Couture, Jon Fitch, Erin Toughill, Anuwat Kaewsamrit, Anderson Silva, Shawn Yarborough, and Karo Parisyan.

This outstanding book also contains an introduction by Xtreme Couture's head instructor, Shawn Tompkins, which involves strategies and facets of training for upcoming bouts.

All of the above techniques have been battle-tested by their practitioners and are certain to provide nightmares for your adversaries.

Really Good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 15, 2013

Verified Purchase

Covered almost everything i wanted to know. There was little to no ground game so if you want the full picture you will want to perhaps look at Jackson's Mixed Martial Arts: The Ground Game. The pictures are clear and easy follow.
