Boxing for MMA by Mark Hatmaker
Although dramatic head kicks and garrote-tight submissions may get most of the airplay in highlight reels, the stats show that punching combinations and knockouts reap more MA victories than any other fighting technique. This boxing primer not only covers the basics, including stance, footwork, punches, and combinations, it takes these boxing skills and views them through an MA prism that addresses the realities of the mixed martial arts game. While there are some must-know fistic skills for MA, there are also more than a few boxing tactics that will get you smashed in MA. Boxing for MA builds on the good and tosses the bad, discussing the differences in strategy and tactics when it comes to facing likely MA scenarios. Matchups covered include Boxing vs. Wrestling, Boxing vs. Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing vs. Muay Thai, Boxing vs. the Slugger, Dirty Boxing Inside the Clinch, and Boxing off of the Fence. All the techniques are illustrated in hundreds of action-sequence images, making this guide the go-to resource for blending boxing skills into your fighting arsenal.Mark Hatmaker is the author of the MMA Mastery, No Holds Barred Fighting, Boxer's Bible of Counterpunching, Boxer's Book of Conditioning & Drilling, Boxing Mastery, No Second Chance, and She's Tough series of books.
