Mixed Martial Arts has become alot more than Martial Arts, it has become high tech and cutting edge training programmes from IntoCombat's high tech IHP programmes to Zach Even-Esh's Gladiator style training with his Ancient Training Methods DVD set. These are a selection of some of our favourite Mixed Martial Arts training programmes:
Jeff Monson's MMA Training Final Count Down DVD

are at the top of the field of fight training and conditioning.

Ancient Training Methods DVD and CD
This is a fantastic alternative to a gym membership. Zach has hit the nail on the head
when it comes to strength training for MMA and combative sports. In the past my MMA strength training has been like that of a body builder leading up to a fight.
After seeing this DVD and listening to what Zach has to say I've had to revamp my MMA training.

Mastering the Danger Zone
| Review of Ultimate Fighting Systems “Mastering the Danger Zone”
From www.ultimatefightingsystems.com
This was a difficult set to review. It’s an excellent set of DVDs, quality was not the problem. The problem was there are so many techniques presented by BJJ Black Belt and Muay Thai master Geoff Aitken that putting together a coherent review took a lot longer than any other set I’ve ever looked at.

Wrestling for Fighting
| I’m torn about Wrestling for Fighting. I badly wanted to love this book, and it is good. Read article |
Fight Quest
| The Ultimate Fighters meets Lonely Planet is the best way of describing the Discovery channels latest offering on Foxtel. Read article |
Ian Freeman Seminar
| As such his seminar covering the basics of high level MMA was excellent, especially for someone as takedown deficient as I am. After the requisite warmup, Ian got us quickly working on two takedowns from the clinch, a body lock to trip and a throw from the tie up position. Ian took the time with each pairing of students and was open to questions along the way. Read article |
RMAX Grapplers Toolbox Reborn
| "There aren't many single person BJJ drills, you need a partner to practise grappling". When was first told this
by a BJJ coach, it was more or less true, at least as far as I knew. Read article |
Mastering The Saddle from RMAX:
| One of the good things about being a reviewer is that you get to see a
lot of things before they become "the next big thing". This is
definitely the case with RMAX's Mastering The Saddle DVD set, taught by
Coach Scott Sonnon. Read article |
Tuff Boxing
| As MMA becomes recognised as a legitimate sport, we're starting to see
professionals from many industries bringing their skills into the
collective fight market. Read article |
RMAX MMA Leg Attacks Review
| Attacking the legs still isn't all that common in MMA. The danger of
getting your head caved in with strikes while diving for a kneebar has
put a lot of fighters off. MMA Leg Attacks from Scott Sonnon is geared
towards safely applying leg attacks in an MMA and submission grappling
environment, without giving up good position or control of you opponent. Read article |
Xplosiv Fight Shorts rnd II
| I had been struggling with my one pair of fight shorts - the HCK ones I
reviewed a while back. Trying to get them clean for my next training
session was always a drama, since I train pretty much daily. Plus, with
the weather getting warmer here on the bottom part of the world, I was
going to be needing them a lot more. So, I was very pleased when I was
sent a pair of XPlosiv fight shorts to review. Read article |
Grapplersgym.com
| Grapplersgym.com stands out among the now glut of MMA training resources
online; mostly due the extremely high quality of the content, the
expertise of the contributors and the large amount of information
available on the forums. Read article |
Xplosiv Fight Shorts
| It's rare that a high standard is set by a new company's first run at
the market. For the most part manufacturers spend several incarnations
of their products getting the mixture right. However the makers of
Xplosiv shorts seemed to have jumped that step and gone straight to
making a superb pair of shorts right off the bat. Read article |
CageWalk Fight Shorts
| CageWalk shorts have filled a almost impossible niche in the fightshorts
industry by being both low cost, cool looking and a downright fantastic
product. Read article |
Dynamic Kneebars
| I sometimes wonder if anytime I review a Grapple Arts product I should
just give the grunted caveman version of a longer review. Leglocks,
Kesting, Grapplearts.... Good! Buy! Read article |
