Be aware that this book is aimed for street self defence and not for competition type fighting, ... Read More: |

| This chunky guide looks great. It's large format with lots of quality colour photos of the techniques.
The focus is purely on conditioning, so there are no instructions on punching or kicking for instance but it includes lots of stuff general gym manuals would ignore, like neck exercises which are important for wrestling/MMA but not much use to other athletes. Over all, this is great value just because it's so clear and comprehensive. |

List Price: £14.95 Healthy Living Books Price: £7.99 You Save: £6.96 (47%)Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.78 |
| This is a large format, easy-to-follow MMA guide with lots of colour photos and clear explanations of techniques. It isn't much different from other martial arts guides on the market, except that it features Randy Couture.
One strange decision was to have the guys wearing red t-shirts/shorts AND have them fighting on a red mat. Black and white clothes would have made things simpler. |

| Being new to pressure points (but not martial arts) this is the first book I have bought on the subject. It is clear, plenty of photos and clear explanation.
There's probably stuff in it for the expert too - but I'm not in a position to judge. Certainly well worth buying if you aren't. |
