Train Like a Fighter: Get MMA Fit Without Taking a Hit

There are some new core exercises depicted, can go for it.

I love Cat. She is such an inspiring and amazing fighter. I recently started training, and got this to help study the basics when I can’t be in the gym. I really like it. Helps me build a work out plan to continue learning even when I’m not in the gym. There is one tiny issue, however. And I hate to even say this because, again, Cat is awesome and I’m so proud of her for creating this, but on the pages where the basic punches are described, “cross” and “jab” descriptions are mixed up. What is under the header or Jab, is both the description for and the picture of someone throwing a cross punch. This is probably a printing error. Cat CLEARLY knows the difference between the two, but it can be a little confusing for anyone who is very very new to these types of movements. Other than that, the book is great. Very thorough and in language someone who is super new (like me) can understand.

Perfect! It's everything you want in an exercise book--easy to follow instructions, pictures of real athletes doing each exercise, and it's well structured so you can map your own workout to achieve your personal goals. Wish I could give it more than five stars!

This is an excellent go to workout book for anyone, not just fighters or martial artists. The excercises focus largely on body weight, with the optional addition of light weight. All excersises focus on full core engagement and you can use what you have laying around the house for the majority of the workouts. I love that you can mix and match excersies easily to fit your goals and that they are easy to understand and follow. Overall a great book that will yield excellent results of followed.

Cat and her writers did an excellent job on this instructional book. Not a lot to read here but a good exercise book.

Great workouts, great picture/descriptions of exercises. Awesome for moderate to advanced levels of fitness. Small learning curve for beginners. Would highly recommend. Great supplement to my small grappling regimen.
