Book Review: Fit to Fight

 

If your goal is to become a professional mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, or to just be in shape like one, then the Fit to Fight strength and conditioning program is for you. Author Jason Ferruggia has put together an effective and impressive training manual designed specifically for the aspiring MMA warrior.

What is especially helpful to the MMA practitioner is how Jason structures the program around the specific needs of fighters. As he points out, too many fighters use antiquated training programs that were originally developed for use in bodybuilding or conventional sports like football. Jason clearly delineates the differences between the training required to be a fighter and the training used in regular sports routines. 

Fit to Fight is more like an encyclopedia than a book. Everything a would-be fighter needs to know regarding strength and conditioning is covered in easy to understand detail. Jason lays out multiple exercise routines designed to fit around each individual’s needs, complete with illustrated instructions on how to properly perform the exercises. This guide also covers much overlooked topics such as nutrition and supplementation, flexibility and injury prevention, and even proper rest and recovery.

The bottom line is that Fit to Fight delivers a well thought out, well written, cutting-edge MMA strength and conditioning program.
