Ultimate Warrior Workouts (Training for Warriors): Fitness Secrets of the Martial Arts ReviewThis book is probably deserving of a 5 star review but for me and what I was hoping for it lacks. I'll start with the positive stuff. As you probably know Mr Rooney spent two years travelling the world to what he considered the best martial arts gyms in the world could be and have been useful in a MMA context. You have know arguments from me here. He's definitely attended most of the gyms that I dream of attending. Kodokan, Fairtex Bangplee, University of Iowa just to name a few, giving the background on each. He has photos demonstrating the conditioning exercises used at these gyms by himself and by members of the gym. All good so far. He gives information on nutrition for a fighter and information on cardio training. He also refers back to his first book a lot which I don't have problem with considering what I paid for this book I would happily buy his first. I already use his dynamic work out from the first book which i got indirectly from my old muay thai coach (who happens to have a few world titles) and highly recommend it. And to top it off he gives you a six month program to follow to get you into peak condition for MMA. Excellent stuff. Also I like the quality of the book itself. Nice glossy pages.
Now for the bad stuff. I study sport exercise so my views are based on what I was hoping for in this book. Mr Rooney does not give how the exercises he has chosen are used by the respective gyms in the context of their programs. Say for example with the muay thai section he doesn't say when yodsanklai would use the chin up variations in his program i.e. If he has separate sessions for conditioning or he does them before or after pads, reps, what a sample template for training at the gym would be etc. Another gripe he doesn't break down the science of his program. I know for someone like him he shouldn't be giving everything away but this is what I'm interested in and its highly unlikely that I'm going to be able to get his Parisi Speed School gym to do an internship with him any time soon. I live in New Zealand and can only dream. And to be honest with a bit of research I'm sure it would be possible to work this out. Also highly doubt this book is targeted at the trainer as much as the fighter. Back to supertraining for me.
All these bad point aside this an excellent resource for those interested in the fitness aspect of MMA. A six month program from Mr Rooney is worth more than the price of this book, and the extra information on the various martial arts is a bonus.Ultimate Warrior Workouts (Training for Warriors): Fitness Secrets of the Martial Arts Overview

Conditioning for Combat Sports ReviewConditioning for Combat Sports is are pretty good book. It goes into great detail about the many different types and ways to do exercises ranging from partner mat drills to weightlifting to agility drills. It does a great job of emphasizing what kind of training is appropriate for a combat athlete. The problem comes from its layout and the feel of "missing" information. The layout problem is simply that there is no index with the exercises in alphabetical order. There is a table of contents with exercises categorized by type and placement in the book, but no index. The second problem is that the book talks about how to develop strength and how to develop endurance, but treats these two separately. It gives good workout routines for both, but never how to work them together. The book tells you that it is important to have both of these, but doesn't give an example workout week of how to do general physical preparation.
I liked the book, it gave me a lot of great information, but I feel like I have to go elsewhere to figure out what to do with this information. Also, on an unrelated note, it is kind of weird how the photo on the front of this book is the same photo on the "300 workout" book. Who is that guy and where is the book that he wrote?Conditioning for Combat Sports Overview
