Product Description
Wondering why you should purchase this book when there are other titles on the shelves written by much higher-caliber fighters? Well, Forrest Griffin is not as good-looking as those guys. He's not as smart as them. He's also not as athletically endowed. And let's face it, neither are you. Those other fighters are pretty much better than you in every way. But you can actually aspire to be as good as Forrest one day. Why? Because he is nothing special, just like you.
Forrest is not a martial artist. He's a fighter, and this book was written for his kin. If you're a hillbilly like Forrest and you get off on having your face rearranged, Got Fight? is for you. This is a manifesto more strategic than Sun Tzu's The Art of War, more philosophical than Bruce Lee's Tao of Jeet Kune Do, more powerful than a well-lubricated locomotive.
In these pages you will learn about true mental toughness—whether it's scraping it out in the Octagon or picking up chicks. You will learn about the mental defects that made Forrest Griffin into the abomination he is today and how you can use your shortcomings to become equally horrible. You will learn the essential tactics of hand-to-hand combat as well as how to defend yourself in the event of a sword attack. Never been attacked by a sword? You need this book worse that we thought.
Still not convinced? Don't worry. Even if you find that the book sucks, it will be no worse than having sex with Forrest Griffin. You'll feel a small prick and some minor discomfort, and then it will all be over.

This review is from: Got Fight?: The 50 Zen Principles of Hand-to-Face Combat (Hardcover)
I'm a huge fan of Forrest Griffin so I had to pick this up. Ultimately I was disappointed.
There's some pretty funny stories in here but it's more like reading someone's blog and there really seems to be very little structure to the book. The instructional section at the back isn't going to worthwhile unless someone is a fighter themselves or is just a really hardcore fan. So not terrible by any means and I'm glad I read it. But I will definitely be re-selling as I don't have any desire or reason to read it again.

This review is from: Got Fight?: The 50 Zen Principles of Hand-to-Face Combat (Hardcover)
This is a thoroughly enjoyable read. This man obviously has a far greater intelligence than he gives himself credit for. It is well written and extremely funny in parts, but also gives an insight into the mind of a fighter, of which he has proved himself to be one of the best. His humour is mostly self-deprecating but when he chooses to big himself up he does it with style as well. Just read his own review of the book on the back.
