Description

CATCH YOUR OPPONENT OFF GUARD WITH WINNING CLINCHES, TAKEDOWNS, AND TACTICS


This innovative book demonstrates how the study of sumo wrestling techniques can benefit practitioners of modern mixed martial arts (MMA), as well as other grappling arts. Sumo, Japan's ancient martial art, has its own particular variations of MMA-style body locks, throws, and trips, among other techniques.


MMA competitors know their sport grew with the evolution of jujitsu, but many do not realize sumo can be seen as the root of jujitsu. Sumo uses distraction, angles, and leverage to steal an opponent's balance and take him down.


Sumo for Mixed Martial Arts focuses on kimarite, or winning moves. Knowledge of these techniques can allow competitors to catch their opponents off guard with unorthodox clinches, takedowns, and tactics. The author places special emphasis on how smaller players can defeat larger adversaries.


This book features:



  • In-depth demonstrations of 48 sumo kimarite (winning moves) with step-by-step instructions

  • Over 300 photos

  • Case studies of famous rikishi (sumo wrestlers)

  • Discussion of sumo's development, rules, and training, as well as recent changes in sumo techniques


The author provides analysis of the three basic types of fighters in MMA and how sumo techniques and tactics can enhance their skills. He examines the fighting style of former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida, who made highly effective use of sumo wrestling in MMA competition.


In Sumo for Mixed Martial Arts Andrew Zerling casts an ancient martial art in new light. He combines his decades of training with a passion for research. MMA competitors, grapplers, wrestlers, and fans of sumo will appreciate the author's analysis and attention to detail. They will also come away with a wealth of new techniques.

Editorial note: In Japanese tradition, the family name precedes a person’s given name—that is, the “last name” comes first. English-language publishers often reverse these names for the benefit of their readers. For example, while the Japanese may speak of Funakoshi Gichin, many Western readers know him as Gichin Funakoshi. We have observed the Western style in this book.

Readers are encouraged to be aware of all appropriate local and national laws relating to self-defense, reasonable force, and the use of weaponry, and to act in accordance with all applicable laws at all times. Understand that while legal definitions and interpretations are generally uniform, there are small—but very important—differences from state to state and even city to city.

About the Author
 
Foreword
by Steve Scott
When I first heard of Andrew Zerling’s book on sumo for mixed martial arts, I thought it was a novel idea. Other martial arts and combat sports are used in MMA. So, why not sumo? Maybe others have incorporated sumo techniques and tactics into MMA, but to my knowledge, this is the first book published on the subject, and it is a welcome addition.
This book provides historical background for sumo and how it, at its very roots, is an effective combat sport. Andrew then expands this historical background and shows how sumo, from a technical aspect, can be applied to other combat sports and specifically to MMA. This interesting mix of sumo’s historical development along with functional technical application of sumo to mixed martial arts makes for a fascinating book.
Like many people, I am a fan of Japanese professional sumo and enjoyed the profiles Andrew provided of some outstanding sumo wrestlers as well as the “case studies” of the techniques and tactics that are used in sumo.
As an advocate of using correct Japanese terminology for all Japanese-based martial arts, I was pleased to see that Andrew provided correct and accurate translations and interpretations of Japanese terms and phrases. This shows that the author did his research and, as a result, provided technically accurate information for his readers. I appreciate that.
While this book is useful for MMA coaches and athletes, it is also useful for anyone interested in how sumo can be applied to any martial art or combat sport.
I enjoyed Andrew’s writing style as he drew me into his enthusiasm for sumo and its adaptability as a combat sport. This book provides solid technical information and is entertaining. When a book is both informative and entertaining, it’s worth reading, and this book is worth reading.
