 useful, fun and challenging July 31, 2010

I got this book four weeks ago and I've never been so excited about working out before then. I feel like i'm 18 again. The hurricaes make my day. After doing those i feel anything is possible. Its a great price for all the valuable information.

I am a professional Mixed Martial Artist, as well as a certified personal and group trainer. This book is a comprehensive collection of exercises, stretches and nutritional information. I use the content from this book in every class I teach as well as in my personal fighter training. The hurricane workouts are amazing, and my clients, teammates and I are continually challenged. The training exercised and workout programs in this book have taken our strength and conditioning to new levels. I'm psyched for Martin's second Training for Warriors book. The first one will be tough to beat!
 Just OK. Worth half the price it's sold for. February 21, 2010

Many of these drills require a partner, most of the stuff in this book is common in most gyms, not worth the money. I did like the section of weight plate exercises, but that's all I got out of this book. Maybe others would like it and find this product useful, however, I did not.
Amazing MMA conditioning book November 3, 2009
Joshua Krimberg
I bought this book because I wanted a full spectrum approach to getting fit for MMA, BJJ and just improving general overall fitness. This book gave me everything in one. Rooney is a world class conditioning coach, who goes into specific detail, giving many different exercises that can be done. Everything including following a proper MMA diet, mental aspects, cardio and muscle training are included, make no joke - this is one serious book.
Bottom Line is if you are looking to improve your game and health, then you need to but this book as it will take you MMA conditioning to another level.

Great book for someone serious about MMA training. For older martial artists like myself who train for fun and fitness, a lot of new things to try to incorporate into your workouts for variety and a new perspective.
I didn't give the book 5 stars for a couple of reasons. One - it is a pretty large book, and not easily carried to the gym and referenced on the spot. There are loads of full page IFL action photos that add a lot of size to the book, and interrupt the flow of the training info. Two - the text actually started to get comical to me with the constant references to "Warriors". A random sentence; "Today's warrior knows leg training has to take precedence in a warrior's strength work". In that same paragraph I counted the word warrior 7 times! And that's just one paragraph....The book just seemed geared to a much younger "extreme" type audience.
The exercises and exercise photos are great. I made my own flash notes, stuck them in my training binder and ended up selling the book back to the bookstore. It was just too big to carry around. I can get pretty much the same info from the Hatmaker conditioning book, Ultimate Fitness Through Martial Arts by Sang H. Kim, Combat Conditioning by Matt Furey, and my Kettlebell book, all of which are much smaller and faster to navigate.
Overall, a great workout book, just needs some major condensing.
