 In FEDOR, Fedor Emelianenko, Arguably the World's Best Fighter, Captures the X-Factors of Fighting. October 3, 2008

Written by Jacob Regar
There is no one hundred percent fail-proof recipe for unarmed combat. Practitioners must learn all they can to prepare themselves for any possible fighting scenario. Techniques alone do not ensure victory in the modern fighting chess match that is MMA. Subtleties like footwork, combinations set up off of evasive movements and offensive feints, and timing, are the essence of fighting success. These variables are difficult to perceive, let alone define, and the ability to fuse them with game-tested techniques against a skilled and prepared opponent marks the clearest indication of a modern fighting master.
In FEDOR: the Fighting System of the World's Undisputed King of MMA, the martial arts public can finally find answers to their ongoing question: how does Fedor Emelianenko do what he does in the ring? He writes in the introduction to the book's section on "counter attacks:"
"The goal in any fight is to constantly remain on the offensive and either rack up enough points to earn a judges' decision or put your opponent to sleep. If your opponent is timid or dramatically outclassed, achieving your goal can be quite easy. You simply beat on him until he drops. However, the majority of opponents you face will climb into the ring or cage with the exact same goal as you, which means you'll have to contend with his attacks. The only way to remain offensive against an opponent who is also offensive-minded is to learn how to counter his attacks. By attacking, evading his strikes, and then immediately launching counterattacks, your opponent will be locked in defense mode even though he is throwing every strike in the book at you. And as long as he is constantly defending, you'll be winning the fight."
The above excerpt is just a taste of the abundant nuggets of world-class fighting philosophy that can be found in FEDOR. His thoughts are expertly drafted into workable instructions with the help of famed MMA writers, Glen Cordoza and Erich Krauss. The book is filled to the limit with clear photographs of Emelianenko displaying the precise body movements necessary to execute each featured technique. Additionally, most featured techniques are accompanied by a section of highlighted "key concepts" to keep in mind.
While studying the book, you will undoubtedly recognize many of the same movements and techniques that have worked for Emelianenko in his fights against the world's best heavyweight fighters. In addition, the book includes many new and exciting techniques like the "Reverse Bridge Summersault Escape" from mount where he literally summersaults horizontally over his shoulders to roll his opponent over to the bottom position.
Widely known for possessing some of the fastest and most devastating hands in the business, Emelianenko presents an in-book clinic on his powerful striking techniques. You will notice in the book's photographs his familiar tendencies to maintain head movement; shift his feet to compensate for his changing offensive angles; and deliver his strikes with his fists rotated beyond the traditional norm. His explanations are not so much a surprise, but they will aid readers in adopting his unorthodox style into their own game.
FEDOR covers every area of MMA: from fundamental striking and slick submissions, to fight-effective takedowns and mindfully defensive techniques. What once could only be ascertained through careful analysis of his legendary fights can now conveniently be learned step-by-step in his first instructional book. FEDOR is both intriguing and brilliant. A must have for any serious martial artist. It is the new standard for MMA instructional books.
 Best four star MMA book September 19, 2008

Fedor's book is well written and easy to understand for the MMA enthusiast, Fedor was the sole reason I left the UFC as a fan years ago and converted to a PRIDE fan (I really miss PRIDE). With that note, I purchased the book to research more about Fedor's training regime and found out that the book does not cover his fight training secrets. The book is technically detailed in which it explains Fedor's fight mechanics in the proper way of punching, kicking (just to note, you will not see Fedor doing karate kid kicks-he is a heavey weight), takedowns, take down defense, and his famous ground and pound strategies.
I give the book four stars for the reason that the book is again well written and easy to understand; the wanna-be MMA fighter who fights at the local fair grounds and bounces at the local bikini bar to fight drunken junior college frat boys will be able to read it and hopefully understand the pictures.
I do agree with the fella from NYC, the book should have come with a DVD, to see Fedor explain and train in his daily workout regime.
 Missing October 21, 2008

We all know who is Mr Emilianenko, so no need to talk about him. But about book.In book description is writen Fedors "cardio training". But in book is not even a paragraph about it. Description of Fedor techniques is 4 star, but his winning is not only from his techniques. Without his coordination, speed, strength and stamina he would not be a "Fedor". But in book is also not a word about it. When you look at Fedor, you do not see a muscle guy, like many other MMA fighters, he looks more like a big guy from neighborhood, who do not care about bodyfat and muscle quantity. But he beat tham all very efectively. There are many MMA guys with excellent technique, but without Fedors speed and strength( I do not mean squat and bench preess strength). Again, in book description is writen " this book leaves no stone unturned", do you thint is it true? At the end, that is why this book is far from my expectations, and the author is maybe preparing a new book about the missing things.
Great book but,... I wish there was more September 18, 2008

Its a great book. Full of pictures, directions, tips, but could have been much better with an addition of a DVD (you can get something similar online).
Still its a great book, wish there was more ;)
Get the book and practice, roll, be happy.
Good but basic book October 15, 2008

Fedor is the king of MMA. He's beaten more top level competition than any other fighter out there. He does it by using a handful of basic techniques and drilling them to perfection. He shows you those techniques in this book without adding in a bunch of fancy junk that doesn't work, or he doesn't use.
Everything in this book you can see fedor use in his fights. Highly recommended for people serious about learning good, solid fundamental fighting techniques.
