 Amazing MMA conditioning book November 3, 2009
Joshua Krimberg
I bought this book because I wanted a full spectrum approach to getting fit for MMA, BJJ and just improving general overall fitness. This book gave me everything in one. Rooney is a world class conditioning coach, who goes into specific detail, giving many different exercises that can be done. Everything including following a proper MMA diet, mental aspects, cardio and muscle training are included, make no joke - this is one serious book.
Bottom Line is if you are looking to improve your game and health, then you need to but this book as it will take you MMA conditioning to another level.
 Could have been more condensed October 28, 2009
chester (concord, ca United States)
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.
Solid workout book. Something for every part of the body August 20, 2009
D. D. (USA)
This book even if you use it only as a reference for ideas or as a stand alone is well done. It points out the importance of working and training every part of the body to eliminate weak points and prevent injuries. Everything from the neck all the way down to the ankles and feet, with everything in between. I only wish alittle more detail was giving for training the lower back but other then that this is a good buy.
I have it myself and have used a few of the excercise and I have no regret at all. Even a few of my friends have taken some things from the book.
And of course it has a nutrition section, but if you know your basic's then nothing out of the ordinary here.
Great Book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! July 7, 2009
Neil A. Abbott
This book is definitly worth your time if you are a fighter, or if you just want to train like one. It gives you information from every aspect of the fight game. It also stresses that the information in this book is in addition to your BJJ, Boxing, Muay Thai, and wrestling training. It is a strength and conditioning tool. Like I said in the title....GREAT BOOK!!!!!!!!
Amazing MMA Training Book June 27, 2009
Joseph Cisneros (Chicago, IL USA)
Training for Warriors: The Ultimate Mixed Martial Arts Workout, is an excellent book for mixed martial artist or those who want to get into shape. The exercises in this book start off simple and increase in difficulty, and most of them can be done with very little equipment. These exercises are to condition you for real MMA training. Each chapter is broken down into different aspect of the MMA game. This book definitely would work best if you are getting trained in Brazilian Jui Jitsu and Muay Thai. There is even a solid section on diet to get the best results when using the conditioning exercises. This book is easy to pick up and read and learn different training techniques.
