Joel’s training has taken me to the top of my competition. When it comes to fight night, I never have to worry about my conditioning; I know I’ve prepared with the best. With Joel’s book, every MMA practitioner can get more out of themselves and have better conditioning than ever before.

Joel’s scientific approach to training is very different from most strength and conditioning coaches out there. I trained with him for several fights and felt 100% confident in my conditioning and ready to go every time I stepped into the Octagon. UMMAC is unlike any other book out there, put in the work and you’ll see the results.

I stumbled upon Joel’s book “Ultimate MMA Conditioning” awhile back and I was completely blown away with the information it had. Not only did it cover the basics, but it went into such great detail about energy system training, exercise breakdown and everything you need to know to design an MMA program. The best part about it for me was that it was also backed by hard core research and application. I can tell that Joel did his homework on this one!

Physical training for Combat Sports is an area of study rife with opinions from every coach & trainer on how to do it best. In the midst of all the information out there, Joel Jamieson’s book “Ultimate MMA Conditioning” stands out. This book offers a wonderful blend of the science behind energy systems, as well as its practical application in program design for fighters. It is one of the most thorough reference manuals available for training combat athletes.

Love your book. It really helped to clarify some application questions I’ve had and saved me a great deal of experimenting time. With some organizational changes that I made because of your book, our football players were the best prepared they’ve ever been. I’ve been studying and applying as much of the Eastern European approach that I can get my hands on for some time, but like I said, your book clarified things quite
well.

After reading Joel’s book, I have been able to take our strength and conditioning programs to a whole new level. These training methods have helped produce more than 10 National Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Champions, 2 Amateur MMA Titles, and 1 Professional Muay-Thai Champion. All within the past 2 years.

I liked the fact that this book gave me a clear blueprint on how to build my own conditioning program, which other programs don’t...I really recommend this book to everyone who wants to understand how to get your conditioning to the next level and have a clear plan to do so (except to my future
opponents!)

I have always taken pride training extremely hard in preparation of fights. This book has taken my training and abilities to a new level. It not only lays the ground work for any fighter to have success in the cage through their training, but it backs up the workouts with the science behind the workouts you will perform.

The book is just amazing. Joel not only explains the science behind his training in a clear and concise way but he also helps you put together a plan tailor made to improve the weaknesses in your conditioning...I have seen tremendous improvement in my cardio and couldn’t be more satisfied with the book.

Joel’s book doesn’t tell you which exercise to do on what day, it educates you as to WHY you’re exercising and what benefit it’s going to give you. Joel’s book is the first I’ve read to give me as an average guy the knowledge to understand my own body, my strengths and weaknesses and then design a program.

My favourite part was the explanations of how the different energy systems related to athletic performance and especially MMA. I think this information will dramatically change my training. It is a very interesting read that will definitely help with my conditioning and I highly recommend picking it up.
