JACKSON’S MIXED MARTIAL ARTS The Ground Game
with Greg Jackson and Kelly Crigger
© Marc Wickert
What a superb publication! This is easily my favorite ground-game book because, unlike a number of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu manuals, Greg Jackson’s book doesn’t just involve submission holds, but also covers every imaginable aspect of ground’n’pounding. Submission holds – such as rear naked chokes, arm bars, and kimuras – work well, particularly in the earlier stages of a bout when competitors aren’t as sweaty; however g’n’p is also a very effective means of submitting an opponent that is absent in BJJ. And because most street fights do go to the ground, I particularly like the street-applicable aspect of this book. Jackson’s Mixed Martial Arts: The Ground Game is the sequel to Jackson’s Mixed Martial Arts: The Stand Up Game, with these two books perfectly complementing one another. Again, Greg has teamed up with US Army Lieutenant Colonel and author of Title Shot: Into the Shark Tank of Mixed Martial Arts, Kelly Crigger. In The Stand Up Game, there is the bonus chapter: “Streetfighting, Multiple Opponents, and Weapons”. In The Ground Game, the bonus section is “Sports Nutrition Guidelines”, and includes: General Nutrition; Estimation of Calorie Needs; Nutrition Before, During , And After Workouts; and Top Ten Nutrition Tips To Improve Overall Health. Jackson’s Mixed Martial Arts: The Ground Game has really nailed it. If you’re interested in having a complete ground game – inside or outside the cage – this 300-page manual is a must. The book covers all facets of the ground game including:
CHAPTER ONE, PART ONE: FULL GUARD
CHAPTER ONE, PART TWO: INSIDE FULL GUARD
CHAPTER TWO: GUARD VARIATIONS
CHAPTER THREE: SIDE MOUNT
CHAPTER FOUR: REAR MOUNT
CHAPTER SIX: FULL MOUNT
