$30.00
Bought these for use in a kick-boxing class and they're just what I was expecting. It would be nice if the fingers were covered a little more, but otherwise they're perfect. They've held up great!

Jackson's Mixed Martial Arts: The Stand Up Game
$34.95
World class MMA trainer Greg Jackson has teamed up with Kelly Crigger, one the sports' most prolific and insightful writers, to create this instructional manual on the stand up game for both inside the ring and out. The Stand Up Game should be an essential reference on the study list of any aspiring fighter, trainer, cop, soldier, or simply fight enthusiasts. It is logically structured, detailed, and complete with hundreds of full-color photos with accompanying descriptive text. All in all, a very thorough primer on this complex aspect of hand to hand combat. A great purchase - can't wait for the next installment.

The Ultimate Mixed Martial Artist: The Fighter's Manual to Striking Combinations, Takedowns, the Clinch and Cage Tactics
$34.95
I was skeptical when I first ordered this book because there were so many fighters in it. I thought there would be one or two techniques from each of the big names, but most of them have dozens of techniques. And despite there being so many guys, the organization of the book is really good. It covers so many striking combinations, both advanced and intermediate. It covers counter attacks, striking to the takedown, takedown defense, all sorts of ground techniques, and even many techniques that you can use off the cage wall. Perhaps the best part of this book is that each fighter offers the techniques that they are the best at. Shawn Thompkins, the striking coach at Couture's gym, shows the combos that he teaches to all his fighters. Forrest demonstrates those unorthodox techniques he is so good at. Couture and Fitch show their takedowns. And Anderson shows how to avoid the takedown while pinned up against the fence, and even how to turn the table on your opponent and execute a takedown of your own. the flow of the book is very good, with each technique leading into the next. As with all of Victory Belt's books, the photos are shot from multiple angles and in color. The only downside of this book is that I would have liked to see St. Pierre in it as well. I would have to say that this book is right up there with BJ's Mixed Martial Arts: the Book of Knowledge, but it is more comprehensive because it focuses just on the stand up element to fighting. I read that they are coming out with a second book that covers the ground game. I am looking forward to picking that one up. I have to say, if you into MMA training, you can't go wrong with this book.
