Striking By Silva A. (Book)

In Mixed Martial Arts Instruction Manual, Anderson Silva unchains the knowledge that has made him the #1 ranked middleweight MMA fighter in the world. Anderson Silva - former Cage Rage Middleweight Champion, former Shooto Middleweight Champion and current UFC Middleweight Champion - is considered by numerous martial arts publications to be the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet. Having devoted his life to developing an unorthodox and highly effective system of striking, Silva has devastated a host of legendary fighters in the cage, including former UFC Middleweight Champion Rich Franklin and former Pride Middleweight Champion Dan Henderson. In Mixed Martial Arts Instruction Manual, for the first time, he unveils the secrets behind his deadly system of striking through more than a 1000 step-step color photographs and descriptive narrative. Leaving no stone unturned, he teaches you how to move about the cage like a cat, throw devastating attacking combinations, and wreck your opponent with counterattacks every time he moves forward. In great detail he breaks down every strike, including punches, elbows, knees, and kicks. He outlines all of his defensive techniques such as parries, blocks, and checks. He even demonstrates how to utilize the majority of techniques from both a standard and southpaw stance. Whether you 're new to the striking arts or a seasoned MMA veteran, this book is for you.
