| The Fighter's Notebook is the book to get if you want to be a complete martial artist. This books is 614 pages long, 3500 pictures, over 800 techniques. The book is divided as follows: Introduction Section A: Attack from the Stand up Section B: Defense against the Stand up Section C: Attack from the Side Control Section D: Defense against the Side Control Section E: Attack from the Mounted Position Section F: Defense against the Mounted Position Section G: Attack from the Back Mount Section H: Defense against the Back Mount Section I: Attack from the Guard Section J: Defense against the Guard Section K: Warm-ups, Conditioning & Training Section L: Submission Fighting: Rules of the Game Index As you can see, this book is very comprehensive and is a must for Submission Fighters and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu practioners. It comes in a huge three ring binder and is worth the money. |

| I am writing this because I feel out of all of the Martail arts video's, books, and anything else that I have been to this is the best. If you want to start learning how to grapple and you want to d oit the right way don't buy a video, or somehing like that, get this book. The rerason I say this is if you go to a gym tjo train for a fight you usally can't bring a tv and a vcr right next to the mat. Whereas if you get this book you can bring it straight to the mat look in the index ,where you need to work on, look at the techniques and you can practice them.The number of topics alone are enough to start you off to be a grappler. I mean there are over 800 techniques that range from the gaurd, to stand up fighting. If you read and practice every technique in this book you are almost insured to win any grappleing fight. This is truely a fighters notebook. It took about 4,500 hours to make this book, tha tis how good it is. Oh yeah, did I mention thst I have been in about 6 NAGA tournaments and I am still learning from this book. |
Excellent work

| If you want to learn how to fight, get this book. It has almost every Brazilian jujitsu, sambo, and submission grappling technique. If you want to learn submission wrestling, don't buy Robert Fergusons book "Submission fighting" this is the book to get. It has around 700 pages and each page has alot of info and the directions and pictures are easy to follow and understand. Not only does it have grappling and submissions, it covers all types of striking and takedowns as well. This book will make you a complete fighter. You should get it if you are a begginer or advanced. Now if you want to be a complete fighter you need to get this book, as well as "Winning wrestling moves" and "Greco-roman wrestling" for takedowns and you'll be set. The only bad thing about this book is the price but, you will probably think that it's worth it. |
The best out there!

| This book is amazing. A "bible" for MMA techniques. The book covers just about every situation you can find yourself in while training in MMA. The 1000's of pictures show you, in great detail, how to preform each technique listed, and different variations of many of them. All in all, I have to say that this is the best martial arts 'technique' book I've ever had the pleasure to own. BIG Sean Madigan |
The book the Gracies don't want you to read

| This book rocks!!! I got it years ago when it was "only" 500 pages, and I am pumped to see it on Amazon.com. I guess I'll have to buy the new one now. What is it? It is everything you ever wanted to know about mixed martial arts. Do they have every technique under the sun? No. Do they have more than you know now? Oh, yeah. I guarantee it. You could easily spend a hundred times as much trying to get this much info from watching tapes. Most bang for your buck available in the martial arts world. |
