Customer Reviews of Martial Arts Legends Presents Grappling
Time Warp I enjoy the magazine as a whole. But if you want current information on the UFC, Pride or any of the other MMA organizations the internet is a much better resoource. I just read the April issue of Grappling (Today is March 17) and the articles all were about fights coming in December. Which made a lot of the articles seem very dated.
Part how-to, part sport coverage, part schlock
Grappling magazine tries to wear many hats. With regular features by such grappling greats Kid Peligrio and Royler Gracie, they offer great general training advice. Every month, they carry articles with interviews and techniques from top competitors around the globe (Gokor, Tito, JJ, BJ Penn). Some of the techniques are great. Some... not so much so, in that they seem awkward, impractical, or very poorly photographed/described. They also feature coverage of open grappling (NAGA, Grappler's Quest), BJJ, and freestyle/greco wrestling. Sports Illustrated gives grapplers no love, but Grappling tries to pick up the slack.
However, Grappling also aspires to have the best MMA (mixed martial arts) coverage in a magazine. They do have EXCELLENT pictures and generally good blow-by-blow recaps. They're also one of the best sources for information about less-broadcast shows like Gladiator's Challenge. The bad part is that the shows they're reviewing are usually two or three behind current, which isn't great for a fast changing sport.
The biggest downsides of Grappling are incredibly bad editing and Matt Furey. The editing often leaves you scratching your head wondering what the author REALLY meant, or flipping through the whole magazine looking for the other half of the article you were reading. Matt Furey seems to have some special relationship with CFW that allows him to continuously appear as a feature, sometimes as a special article, and throughout the magazine in ads. For a grappler with so-so credentials, he's omnipresent and comes across as pretty cocky.
All in all, a good magazine, and I never miss an issue. I just ignore Matt and the editing.
