 - Warrior Please ReadFew trainers or coaches have the education to train someone when it comes to MMA, BJJ, or martial arts in general. This book will serve as a complete guide to exercise as a "warrior" ready for battle as opposed to a body builder or weekend warrior. Although you do need "fancy equiptment or tons of space for a few of the exercises; the majority of the exercises can be completed at home or at a local track. The nutrition section is easy to use as well on the section on how to porperly go food shoping. This is a must have for anyone willing to kick butt on the ring or mats. Rating:  - MUST HAVE for serious MMA trainingThis book is exactly as it's titled: Training For Warriors. It features multiple workouts and training routines for each muscle group, important stretches, weight cutting info, and dietary guides. There are detailed pictures and captions explaining the various steps of each workout which makes it very easy to follow. The training exercises range from beginner level to advanced intensity. You will not be able to do all of these exercises at first. I like that aspect because it gives you goals and challenges to work toward. Another thing I like about this book is that the exercises are not simply routines with free wieghts or demonstrations on machines at a gym. There are many alternative strength training techniques which do not require a much, if any, additional equipment. A great aspect of Traing For Warriors is that these excersises target many muscles within a muscle group and not just a single muscle. This allows you to build and strengthen your target muscle(s) together with core, stablizer, and secondary muscles, as opposed to isolating a single muscle. Ultimately that is the best way to achieve the strength of necesary to be a competetive MMA fighter. Lastly there is some very thorough and detailed information regarding how to diet. It even lays out meal plans for diffent types of diets, whether you be cutting, maintaining, or adding wieght. Overall I rate the information and techniques in this book very high. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in search of a deeper knowlege of how to properly train to enter the MMA world. This book will serve as a valuable reference time and time again. Rating: - Great BookExcellent book, has a lot of training tips that can help you out develop strengh, stamina and flexibility Rating:  - Good, but not greatThis book is primarily a compliation of exercises (some not shown in great detail) organized by body segment/function. The good news is that I've never seen some of the exercises, which is great. That bad news is that I found this book lacking in terms of training science, methodology and planning. A good book, but certainly not what I was expecting. Rating: - Training for Warriors Is second to none! I personally want to thank Martin Rooney for putting together such an outstanding and phenomenal book. The attention to detail for this type of training is long overdue and Martin went above and beyond the call of duty in that aspect. This book can be used for Warriors of all types and skill sets which is what sets it apart from the pretenders out there. The training program and content will not only challenge you physically but also mentally. Thanks again to Martin for creating such an awesome tool.
