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.
Necessary Equipment:
1)Jump Rope
2)Heavy Bag
3)Speed Bag
4)Kicking Shield
5)Striking Pads
6)Free Wieghts
7)Resistence Bands
8)PhysioBall
9)Medicine Balls
10)Sparring Gear
and a Partner is always good.

| 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. |
