I watched this again for the third time over the three years that I owned this video, and now I appreciate how valuable this opening material is to integrate all the tools one develops.
This tape is well structured and helps to clear the overload and confusion caused by the multitude of advices from the numerous MMA “experts” on the market.
I purchased this series of instructional videos because I wanted to understand the strategy and tactics used by high-level MMA fighters. I was not disappointed. One thing to note is Chael emphasizes philosophies more than techniques. Personally, that's something I appreciate very much, but this may not be what someone else is looking for. Thanks Chael!
Teaches fundamentals
Excellent thoughts. Excellent communication knowledge
This instructional is very conceptual. Not a ton of different techniques, but what it lacks in variety it makes up for in opening your eyes to MMA and the necessary concepts to be successful.
Chanel shares so many valuable fighting insights.. just wish they were a little longer
fast progress, easy message.
The man Chael knows more than anybody what he's talking about. This is very basic but entertaining.
Great instructional. Understand effective fight philosophy that will work at the highest levels. Chael is great at explaining and entertaining.
The Bad guy shares some of his MMA wisdom and its worth buying. Chael gives great insight to executing moves in an mma style where striking is involved. Great Buy!
Looking to transition to mma ? awesome Already on your journey but need a bit of insight ? still awesome
change the way how you about fighting in mma
I much preferred this instructional to most of the other MMA fundamentals instructional's as it focuses on key concepts which is much more useful for most people who are probably already aware what a jab,cross and a double leg takedown are (if not you can google it for for free) however what this instructional contains is much harder to find which is insightful views of a highly experienced and proficient practitioner.
Very, easy understandable concepts that apply instantly.
He is the best. Philosophy, techniques, history of MMA. Great Instructional!
This course takes a different approach, instead of teaching specific techniques as the main focus, Chael teaches the overall philosophy of a set of techniques primarily and also teaches some specific techniques. If you already have a large library of techniques from other training and want an introduction to the sport of mma, then this is perfect. It will teach you to find your personal fight philosophy and incorperate what you already know into an mma repetrior.

This guy has a different mindset when it comes to training and selecting the techniques you wish to study. For example, Chael says the best strategies to use in MMA are the ones that are illegal in other sports. They're illegal because they're effective.
Excellent instructional for beginners
Mma for grapplers
Good tutarial with many useful basics of MMA. As always Sonnen explains the techniques in a great way.
Great teaching with legend.
Very good!
The Bad Guy does it again. An excellent conceptual overview of the modern mma meta. Great for all mma athletes, coaches and fans.
