WRESTLING
for FIGHTING by
Randy Couture with
Erich Krauss & Glen Cordoza available through www.budovideos.com
© Marc Wickert October 31,

Wrestling
for Fighting
is jam-packed with powerhouse coaching from one of MMA’s most
successful gladiators.
Randy
‘The Natural’ Couture has blazed more boundaries than any other
fighter on the planet, including holding the UFC Heavyweight
Championship Title, then the UFC Light-Heavyweight Title, before
snatching back the UFC Heavyweight Title in swashbuckling fashion.
Now
45 years of age (another boundary crossed), Randy is putting his UFC
World Heavyweight Title on the line against Brock Lesnar, and most
critics are tipping The Natural to take his belt home on November 15.
In
Wrestling for Fighting Randy Duane Couture splits his book into
three sections: Wrestling, Greco and Wrestling for Fighting. And
this Bobby Fischer of MMA provides his readers/students with hands-on
tutorage. From the start, Randy makes you feel like he’s right
there in your corner. When he’s explaining how to set up your
opponent, Couture whispers in your ear, “I’ll send you along this
path by demonstrating the basic ways to tie-up an opponent, and then
showing how those tie-ups can be used in tandem with movement to set up
your various takedowns.”
Randy
also keeps his students in the loop by running through all his moves and
then constantly referring to when these moves were used in past UFCs by
himself and other MMA stars.
Although
the title refers to wrestling, The Natural also covers his cage tactics,
g’n’p-ing, and his legendary ‘dirty boxing’ techniques. A masterpiece by MMA’s mastermind.
