| Avant Research Rep Board Sponsor | The Big Books of Combat by Bas Rutten is always the place to start. It teaches everything associated with MMA from techniques to conditioning to weight training, etc. |

| Avant Research Rep Board Sponsor | Yes, but they are not intended for people that don't have a good grappling base. |

| Avant Research Rep Board Sponsor | The best way to learn how to apply the techniques is to go to an MMA school and roll/spar with the other students. |

| Board Supporter  | You can look at photo's in a book - the Gracies have great picture books as does Dave Camarillo. However, you will never really understand how to apply them without actually training at a good school. By the photo you will see how to hold the arm and lean back. In a school you will learn the importance on having the thumb pointing the right way, shifting your hips to the right angle, pushing your hips up, hugging the arm etc. An arm bar applied with your opponent resistant has to be this technical for you to pull it off, this is stuff a book will never be able to teach you. |
