MIXED MARTIAL ARTS UNLEASHED Mastering the Most Effective Moves for Victory The purpose of this book is to teach the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA), which involves boxing, kicking, striking, wrestling, and grappling, to fighters, both amateur and professional, and fans who want to get more out of the sport. People who want to add mixed martial arts to their training in a more specific art such as karate, aikido, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, judo, tae kwon do, wrestling, and so on, along with recreational athletes who do mixed martial arts to stay fi t and happy and those who study mixed martial arts for self-defense purposes, will all get a lot out of this volume. While it aims to be complete, including a detailed section on the history of the game and extensive chapters describing and explaining skills, strategies, and fighting, minor moves and strategies are passed over to allow for focus on the most effective elements of this game. Also, only sport-specific topics are treated. Thus, generic weight lifting and endurance training regimens are left for fitness books to handle in more detail. Although the models wear T-shirts and shorts to make them easier to distinguish, this book is written for all forms of the sport, ranging from gi (wearing grappling jacket and pants) to no gi to shorts only, and from full to semi to light contact. However, due to all the myriad rule systems abounding in the world, we have taken the no gi full-contact form of this sport as its theoretical base for our purposes here. This book was written to give you the skills and strategies you need to win in MMA, or, if you are a fan, to show you what the athletes are trying to do in the ring. By clearing away the unnecessary, we are left with a logical and coherent system of combat based on the nature of the human body and the potential that body has to overcome another. As trainers repeated again and again through thousands of years, it is the basic, most effi cient moves, performed by athletes who have developed high levels of stamina, power, and accuracy, that carry the day in the ring. The essence of mixed martial arts is high-energy simplicity in a complex environment. This book was written to help you achieve this aim, or if you are a fan, to understand how the athletes do it.
