"A fantastic book! The approach of associating MMA techniques with the exercises that will help improve them is something people will not have seen before." -- Kid Peligro, Acclaimed martial arts author and BJJ black belt

"If you’re tired of being the nail, let Martin Rooney turn you into the hammer!" -- Renzo Gracie, ADCC and Pride Fighting Champion

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Martin Rooney has effectively given us the conditioning road map. The book is of the highest quality, the photographs are excellent, the editorial succint and clear. For anyone who want the conditioning edge, this is the book. Fighter or not TFW provides a broad range of excercises and drills. The book follows a logical path giving an overview of MMA and then gets into Warrior Anatomy covering warm-ups, training by bodypart (don't confuse this with traditional body split training) and then goes on to cover specific programs, nutrition and injuries. You can follwo the programs or mix it up and simply focus on the areas that you need to work. As for the weight training aspect, I'm a RKC Kettlebell instructor and consequently the Kettlebell is my tool of choice. I simpy us kettlebell drill and lifts to replace the conventional weighted drills. The most valuable aspect of TFW is the way it translates many conventional drills into a MA context. Most important, once you've read the text, looked at the pics...Go Train!
