Coaching for Warriors: The Final Combined Martial Arts Exercise

You don’t need any other workout book
This book contains everything you need to know when it comes to fitness for mixed martial arts and combat sports. Almost every single exercise that has existed in the history of the world for every single part of the human body is in this book. There are many combat sport-specific drills, but there are also your typical gym fitness routines. Even if you’re not a mixed martial artist and don’t have any plans to be one, this book will still serve your needs as a fitness enthuasist. There is a chapter for every muscle group, which contain about 15-30 different exercises each. There are also sections on diet and nutrition, cutting weight, and flexibility, there is the beginning section explaining the philosophy behind being a warrior and why hardwork and preserverance is important. When I say this book has everything, I’m not kidding. Once you have this book, all you’ll need to get in shape from this point on is hard work and disipline, such as getting off your butt to go to the gym and staying away from pizzas and bacon cheeseburgers. There are too many exercises in this book, you can’t do all of them. Just pick out 5 exercises and let that be your fitness routine for the next three weeks and pick another 5 exercises for the three weeks after that, changing up the routine every three weeks, you should get results in a few months because of muscular confusion(your body constantly changing to adapt to different physical activities).

A program of exercises specific to the mixed martial artist
Martin Rooney’s “Training for Warriors: The Ultimate Mixed Martial Arts Workout” offers a large range of exercises, with the exercises tailored to the warrior or mixed martial artist. Some exercises are bodyweight and may be done solo, some need equipment, and some require a training partner. There are a lot of photos in color illustrating the exercises.
The beginning of the book offers a brief and quick introduction to mixed martial arts.
The rest of the book is divided into areas of the body, similar to other fitness books. For example, chapter 8 shows an array of exercises for the chest and shoulders, while chapter 10 shows back exercises. Here’s a sampling of some of the topics covered.
Chapter 6 Warrior warm-up
chapter 7 Warrior neck training
Chapter 8 Warrior chest and shoulders

There are also brief sections on cutting back your weight to meet a certain weight class, nutrition, and injury prevention. There’s also an 8 week Warrior Workout plan at the end.

I got way more than I expected from this book, well worth the investment.

Pratiquant de jjb et grapling et adepte de préparation physique, je pensais enfin avoir mis la main sur l’ouvrage ultime en matière de préparation physique de combattant.
Le livre se veut complet mais néglige l’aspect planification du combattant. les 3/4 (voire plus) de l’ouvrage sont consacrés au descriptif des exercices avec des photos pas toujours explicites.
C’est sûrement un plus pour celui qui n’a jamais mis les pieds dans une salle ou un dojo mais pour le pratiquant, il n’y a rien de neuf.
ça donne une base mais sans apporter vraiment de réponse à celui qui cherche à se préparer pour un combat, ce qui aurait dû être rechercher dans pareil livre.

Thank to this programs, I was able to get back in shape to restart practicing MMA even if I am already on my 40’s.
