Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: The Ultimate Guide to Dominating Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts Combat Paperback – Illustrated, November 10, 2012

Bought for my nine year old who has been doing jiu-jitsu for a year and a half... it has instructions as picture steps... you can see every step in a move which makes it easy to understand.

Good book for my nephew.😎

This book contains lots of great techniques, that can become a valuable addition to any blue belt's arsenal. At the same time I disliked a few grammar errors in the book preface.

Lots of pictures, step by step breakdowns of techniques, a lot of information. That, is the con as well; A LOT of information. This is a great book as a supplement to actual training. No amount of pictures can give you the subtle nuances of actual instruction and live rolling.However, this book is a GREAT visual and mental aid to stay sharp.

Good step by step guide. Especially once you get comfortable and familiar with the basics. A good resource to go back and study details of techniques you may have missed in your class.

The book has some excellent techniques, but the layout is hard to follow. If you've been doing BJJ for a couple of years and just want a book to learn a couple new techniques, then this book will more than suffice. However, if you're a beginner, I would strongly recommend "Jiu-Jitsu University" by Saulo Ribero. It's layout is much easier to follow and it's grasp on basic Jiu-Jitsu is superior.

I own several book on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques and this is the best. Whoever trains in Jiu-Jitsu knows that there are thousands of techniques and hundreds of variation for each one and tons of new ones that are created daily. So the only way you can really rate a book on techniques is by the lay out. This book has a ton of color pictures with easy to understand arrows to walk you through the move. And through out each techniques he points out simple mistakes or variations that can get you into trouble. I highly recommend this for anyone who trains. Remember practicing moves from a book can only help an already solid game. This means you need to be part of a gym/school/dojo to build/maintain and grow your game.

I have been trying to get a good book on BJJ for Kindle. Usually the pictures and graphics are too small, low quality and difficult to read. In this ebook the quality of photographs is great attention to detail has been given. Wonderful book. Highly recommended.
