Okay so i just got done reading Matt Hughes' book "Made In America" I also recently finished "A Fighters Heart" by Sam Sheridan. Both books were very good, and they were also fast reads.
I am going to start reading Chuck's book pretty soon here.
Other than those three books, what are some other good MMA books or fighter biographies that you guys know of?
BTW if you havent read the two books a mentioned, you should pick them up, they are great books, even if you dont like Matt Hughes. Hahaa.
yeah Jenkins ima pick up Hughes's book for sure
i like reading instructional books on martial arts that i havn't practiced and try to learn things from that to incorporate on my overall skill set for example:
i pretty much am a Muay Thai fighter with a decent wrestling backround and some jitz but i read Taekwuando books and have learn a lot from them and i incorporate the skills that i learn from those books and i helps a lot to change and improve my game making me less "cookie cutter" of a fighter
Yeah I also have a book about Striking and it shows Anderson Silva's striking techniques and all kinds of stuff like that.
I know what you mean though, Ive been taking boxing and kickboxing classes for about a year now, and Ive been boxing in my free time for about 2 years. Once I find a new job Im going to start taking bjj classes. My main interest is Muay Thai though. So going through Silva's striking techniques was interesting.
Oh one book i forgot to mention is Forrest Griffin's book. I still need to get around to reading that. I heard its hilarious.
a fighters heart is by far the greatest fighting book ever made...sam sheridan hits all the notes and after reading it you feel ever more inspired ....anyone against mma should definitly read this book....I love the book so much and swear by it so much i read it just about 2-3 times a year
I suggest reading Blood in the Cage by Jon Wertheim, but bear in mind that it's told from a Pat Miletich POV, and it tends to go on for a bit about how Dana White fu<ked Miletich first out of a title rematch, and then out of the UFC.
Tito Ortiz's book, "This is Gonna Hurt" is worth the read, but just barely, unless of course you're an Ortiz supporter.
Also, anyone who's any sort of MMA fan needs to read Forrest Griffin's book, "Got Fight?".
It's hysterical from start to finish, and really provides some insight into one of MMA's most popular guys.
Finally, my favorite MMA biography is Randy Couture's "Becoming the Natural".
It reads like it should, an in-depth study of a Hall of Famer's legendary career, both in and out of the cage.
I heard Rampage is coming out with a new book. If you buy it online, Amazon offers it bundled with crayons for maximum savings.
You could buy Fedor's new book, but you have to hand over half your profits to M1.
BJ has a new one... But it's only a good read when it wants to and gets really whiny around page 170.
GSP's new book? It has waggling junk on it that's just flat out distracting.
Lyoto's book is awfully hard to get your hands on... And it's printed on yellow paper.
I've heard that if you read Forrest's book for more than 3:23, it runs to the other side of the shelf.
I was going to read Brock's, but he wouldn't pay me any money, so I'm going to read Shane Carwin's instead and then maybe I'll go home and get on my inflatable wife.
(thanks to dbiz for a few assists.)
all sound like good book, ima have to check them out ;)
I'm surprised that bsbiz didn't mention Junie Browing's upcoming book, "Fighting for Purses and Beating on Nurses", which is co-authored by Jack Daniels...
;)
