JACKSON’S
MIXED MARTIAL ARTS The
Stand Up Game with
Greg Jackson and Kelly Crigger (Victory Belt)
© Marc Wickert
Many
gyms have a turn at the top for being regarded as the world’s most
successful mixed martial arts establishment – The Lion’s Den, Team
Miletich, Xtreme Couture, Red Devil Sport Club… But certainly
the standout gym for the last few years has been Jackson’s MMA in
Albuquerque.
The
Gym’s headmaster, Greg Jackson, has proven himself to be a superior
MMA strategist and safe cracker of many an opponent’s coveted game
plan. “No matter who may have an advantage in whatever situation
you are in, if you can kick their ass, you are dominant,” says Greg.
Amongst
Jackson’s disciples are Georges St-Pierre, David Loiseau, Rashad
Evans, Diego Sanchez, Keith Jardine, Nate Marquardt, Joey Villasenor,
and female MMA stars Julie Kedzie and Michelle Waterson. The proof
is in the pudding!
For
this outstanding publication Greg has teamed up with US Army Lieutenant
Colonel and author of Title Shot: Into the Shark Tank of Mixed
Martial Arts, Kelly Crigger.
The
book covers all facets of the stand-up game including:
·
Developing
a Fight Strategy
·
The
Fundamentals of Stand-Up Fighting
·
Basic
Strikes
·
Combinations
·
The
Clinch
·
The
Takedown
and
·
Street
Fighting, Multiple Opponents, and Weapons
As
well as being a hugely successful MMA coach, Greg Jackson operated the
Gaidojutsu (Way of the Street) school, where he trained Albuquerque
police officers, emergency response teams, SWAT teams, and Special
Forces in self defense. So the last section of Jackson’s
Mixed Martial Arts: The Stand Up Game is also a great addition to
any fight enthusiast’s library.
To
quote from Georges St-Pierre, “Greg is the maestro and I’m the
musician.”
