Book Reviews of Judo for Mixed Martial Arts: Advanced Throws, Takedowns, and Ground Fighting Techniques
Book Review: Great Judo-MMA book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Victory Belt publishing keeps churning out winners. "Judo for Mixed Martial Arts" by UFC Welterweight contender Karo Parisyan is one more success.
After the obligatory introductory piece, Karo gets cooking. He begins teaching his unorthodox system by first focusing on control possitions and transitions. Not the most exciting part of the book, but it does lay the groundwork for what is to follow. After that he talks about the use of strikes in the standup, focusing on using the strikes to set up takedowns or get into the control possitions in the clinch. Next we get to the good stuff, the throws. Karo has modified classic Judo throws, such as Seio-Nage and Osoto-Gari, to be used without the gi, and these tactics have been largely responsible for his wins. In addition to showing many variations of these techniques, he also shows how to counter the clinching and takedown techniques found in submission grappling and MMA with more Judo throws. Finally, Karo gets to the groundfighting portion of the book. This is a submission-heavy section, and some of those subs are as unorthodox as Karo's throws. Included here, among other things, are leglock transitions, submission transitions from the guard, and some basic ground and pound.
Like all Victory Belt products, "Judo for Mixed Martial Arts" includes color-coded chapters, multiple camera angles, and clear color photos. The format is very easy to follow, and the book is written by the man who's possibly the best in the world at transfering Judo skills into the MMA arena. It lacks a bit when it comes to striking, but let's face it, that's not what the book is about anyway. For those wanting to learn Judo for MMA or to supplement their grappling game, this is an excellent book. Highly recomended.
