Matthew Polly is an interesting writer. When he was younger he travelled to China to study Kung Fu at the legendary Shaolin Temple. His narrated the experience in his book " The American Shaolin" - perhaps one of the best books on martial arts ever. Having thoroughly enjoyed the book, I looked forward to read his 2nd book on MMA. I must say that he didn't disappoint me at all.What gives credibility to Polly is his willingness to put himself through brutal training of MMA, BJJ, Muay Tai, Sambo, etc in order add authenticity to his book, as he did in his first book. He even takes part in an amateur MMA fight so to better understand what goes in the bodies and minds of the fighters in the MMA's Octagon.While his experience alone makes in worth buying the book, the reason for 5-star rating lies in the strength of his writing. His writing style veers toward self-deprecation, eschewing the massive ego and the macho BS of the typical martial artists and fighters. His writing often hilarious but at the same time displays a surprising intellectual depth in analysing the sports or human behaviours.All in all a hugely satisfying read for an intelligent MMA / martial arts fans.
Reading this book took me back to memory lane and my own development training in numerous martial arts. When the Gracie family first became known in the United States before the beginning of the UFC challenges I was fortunate enough to have attended two seminars in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu when they were in the Chicago area. Even though I was already a ranked black belt in Judo and Shotokan Karate at the time, I learned a lot at those seminars working with Rorian, Royce and Rickson Gracie. This interesting and entertaining book (Tapped Out by Matthew Polly) provides an insiders look at what the mixed martial arts is all about. The author trained for two years for his first fight in order to get first-hand experience for this book he was writing.This 280 page hardcover book is organized into three sections. You will meet some of the legendary mixed martial art fighters in this book which is just one of the many things I liked about this book. The first section (Act 1 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) the author explains Kung-Fu Panda, Descendants of Hercules: MMA 101, Gracies don’t tap, and other stories. The second section (Act 11 Muay Thai and Sambo) the author relates his experiences such as Bangkok Vice, Nursery school, there will be blood and other incidents. The final section (Act 111 Mixed Martial Arts) was the most interesting to me because the author finally loses enough weight and trained hard enough to finally have his first fight. I am not going to give away more than that.If you are an ultimate fighter and mixed martial arts fan you should check out this book. I thought it was a great read, but then I am a crazy lifetime student of the martial arts which makes me not the most objective guy when it comes to anything to do with training in the way of the warrior.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: The Samurai Soul: An old warrior’s poetic tribute)
Perhaps every MMA or UFC fan has secretly wondered what it would be like to walk into the Octagon, strap on 4-oz. gloves and hear "Big" John McCarthy say to them, "Let's get it on!"Author Matthew Polly takes this Walter Mitty fantasy to literal levels in his newest book, TAPPED OUT. Polly is no stranger to participatory sports journalism in the George Plimpton vein. His earlier book, AMERICAN SHAOLIN, chronicled his apprenticeship in Chinese martial arts while living and studying at Shaolin Temples.Here, Polly undertakes to transform himself from a 240-lb. schlub into a ripped and buff mixed martial artist, and to do so in his late 30's. A tall order!To get ready, he plans to assemble various pieces of his MMA arsenal - grappling, jiu-jitsu and striking. He offers an insider's perspective on some of the Mecca's of MMA training. He begins with Renzo Gracie's jiu-jitsu academy in New York City. Je comes under the tutelage of BJJ guru John Danaher. When Polly notices that Renzo never seems to be around, he asks one of the instructors about it, inquiring as to what exactly Renzo does at the gym. The answer, "He collects the money."After working on some semblance of a ground game, Polly then gravitates to the domain of Phil Nurse, the eminent Muay Thai coach to learn the rudiments of striking and kicking. With every bruised rib and sore leg, the reader empathizes with Polly's gritty attempts to transform himself into a fighter.From New York City, Polly then ventures to the Capital of MMA, Las Vegas, where he signs on to train at Xtreme Couture, the lair of the legendary Randy Couture. Here, Polly plans to "put it all together" in order to get ready for one amateur MMA fight organized in Sin City by an outfit called Tuff-E- Nuff.MMA fans will enjoy some of the insider scuttlebutt that comes through in Polly's narrative. For example, you get the impression that Georges St. Pierre is a genuinely nice guy, as his Randy Couture. You also get the impression that many MMA insiders find Matt Hughes to be a dick.TAPPED OUT builds to a climax as Polly sweats and suffers to make weight at 185 lbs. and to take on in an amateur exhibition a striker who trains at Nellis Air Force Base outside of Vegas. Can a dilettante like Polly - whose mid-section muffin top might earn him the MMA moniker Roly-Polly - survive in the Octagon against a younger opponent?(No spoilers here. You'll have to find out yourself by reading TAPPED OUT.)Matthew Polly has a fun sense of humor and, while he takes his quest seriously, he does not take himself seriously. His humor is a breath of fresh air and he does not try to come across as any modern day "American Samurai."If you are an MMA fan, you owe it to yourself to read TAPPED OUT. It is a quick read, I thoroughly enjoyed it, though your mileage may vary. Even if you are not a UFC or MMA fan, TAPPED OUT makes for an engaging and entertaining read.
