Book Reviews of Training for Warriors: The Ultimate Mixed Martial Arts Workout
Book Review: Could have been more condensed
Summary: 4 Stars
Great book for someone serious about MMA training. For older martial artists like myself who train for fun and fitness, a lot of new things to try to incorporate into your workouts for variety and a new perspective.
I didn't give the book 5 stars for a couple of reasons. One - it is a pretty large book, and not easily carried to the gym and referenced on the spot. There are loads of full page IFL action photos that add a lot of size to the book, and interrupt the flow of the training info. Two - the text actually started to get comical to me with the constant references to "Warriors". A random sentence; "Today's warrior knows leg training has to take precedence in a warrior's strength work". In that same paragraph I counted the word warrior 7 times! And that's just one paragraph....The book just seemed geared to a much younger "extreme" type audience.
The exercises and exercise photos are great. I made my own flash notes, stuck them in my training binder and ended up selling the book back to the bookstore. It was just too big to carry around. I can get pretty much the same info from the Hatmaker conditioning book, Ultimate Fitness Through Martial Arts by Sang H. Kim, Combat Conditioning by Matt Furey, and my Kettlebell book, all of which are much smaller and faster to navigate.
Overall, a great workout book, just needs some major condensing.
