Interview With Glen Cordoza, Co-Author Of Marcelo Garcia's Advanced Jiu-Jitsu
Matthew Roth and Ben Thapa have already reviewed Marcelo Garcia's latest instructional Advanced Brazilian Jiujitsu Techniques for Bloody Elbow but I wanted to get a little more in-depth so I asked Victory Belt if I could interview Garcia's co-author Glen Cordoza. Cordoza is also the co-author of...
Book Review: Anderson Silva's MMA Instruction Manual
Victory Belt released Anderson Silva's MMA Instruction Manual: The Muay Thai Clinch, Takedowns, Takedown Defense, and Ground Fighting. This is a sequel to his uber-useful The Mixed Martial Arts Instruction Manual: Striking which Victory Belt released a couple of years back. I was grateful to get...
Book Review: Cung Le's San Shou: The Complete Fighting System
I've post-poned publishing this review of Cung Le's San Shou: The Complete Fighting System because I kept hoping against hope that he would sign a bout contract and treat us to another MMA fight, but alas, it appears Hollywood has lured him away from MMA for the foreseeable future. Cung Le has had...
Book Review: Randy Couture's Xtreme Training
Reviewing Randy Couture's latest book Xtreme Training: The Fighter's Ultimate Fitness Manual was pretty intimidating for me, the quintessential non-athlete. Unlike the Couture's previous Victory Belt book Wrestling for Fighting, this one is focused strictly on his training regimen with only cursory...
Book Review: Greg Jackson's Mixed Martial Arts: The Ground Game
Jackson's Mixed Martial Arts: The Ground Game by Greg Jackson with Kelly Crigger is a worthy companion to their earlier book The Stand Up Game. The first book gave me a great deal of insight into the devious and crafty mind of superstar MMA coach Greg Jackson who has risen to fame based on the...

Review: Anderson Silva's "...for MMA" Victory Belt DVD Series
Disclaimer: The FCC requires me to inform you that I received my copies free of charge from Victory Belt in exchange for a review on this site. This is insulting to my intelligence and yours. You want to learn about MMA, why not learn from the best? Victory Belt's Anderson Silva DVD series comes...
Bloody Elbow Book Review: Greg Jackson's Mixed Martial Arts: The Stand Up Game
It's always a treat to receive a review copy of a Victory Belt book in the mail and Greg Jackson's Mixed Martial Arts: The Stand Up Game (co-written with Kelly Crigger) is no exception. I've found that even though I don't actually train MMA, that studying technical manuals like Jackson's Mixed...
Bloody Elbow Book Review: The Ultimate Mixed Martial Artist by Erich Krauss
Erich Krauss' latest training manual, The Ultimate Mixed Martial Artist: The Fighter's Manual to Striking Combinations, Takedowns, the Clinch and Cage Tactics is a bit of a departure from previous Victory Belt publications. Don't worry, it definitely maintains the reputation for excellence that...
Bloody Elbow Book Review: Matt Lindland's Dirty Boxing for Mixed Martial Arts
Matt Lindland's Dirty Boxing for Mixed Martial Arts is surprisingly good.I didn't expect as much as I do from some Victory Belt manuals perhaps because I've got a bias against wrestling, perhaps because Matt Lindland comes with a lot of baggage.
