Product Description
Book Description
The tactics and techniques of two of the greatest competitors in the history of mixed martial arts combat, Renzo and Royler Gracie, are captured in this book. Their "grappling" style of martial arts is explained-methods that focus on holds and throws rather than kicks and punches, and come closer to the spirit and nature of real fighting than other martial arts. Covered are the history, rules, philosophy, strategy, and positions of submission grappling, providing a complete account of this increasingly popular sport.

Since the release of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Theory and Technique, which I created with my cousin Renzo, one of the most common questions I have been asked is, "Why did you decide on those techniques and why did you present them in that order?" Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Submission Grappling Techniques (Paperback)
There is no better word to describe this book. If you are into Submission Grappling and No Gi training, you need to get it. The details and the instructions are top notch. Royler Gracie and Kid Peligro are to be commended, there is nothing to complain about, the organization is great, the technique selection covers all the important aspects of submission grappling.The intro is the best, Kid Peligro digs deep into Royler's pool of knowledge and extracts this strategy, insight and tips on everything from training, preparation for competition and even fight strategy. Then continues on to photos and descriptions of the grips and differences between Gi training and Submission, followed by standing techniques and the ground techniques. The ground techniques are grouped into areas making it very easy to follow and to get the what ifs and variations from the poisitions. Royler's success in No Gi tournaments is unquestioned and to be able to read and watch his favorite techniques in one book is fantastic. A must have

Essential Reading for the BJJ Practitioner,
By
This review is from: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Submission Grappling Techniques (Paperback)
First off, this is not a book for beginners.While there are a lot of great titles out there to aid those in learning BJJ, this really can't be lumped in with that grouping. In reality, this book takes the proper approach, in that it speaks to intermediate / experienced BJJ practitioners, with the aim of diversifying their submission grappling skill set. It assumes you have taken some time on the mat to learn your craft - because as the Gracies know, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not an art that can be learned simply by reading about it, and trying it out on your mates from time to time. That being said, as a fairly skilled martial artist, I found this book to be incredible in helping show interesting escapes, lines and technique sets that I probably hadn't thought of, and the illustrations did a fantastic job in showing exactly what to do. Excellent for giving you more options to try out on the mat - some techniques are more difficult than others, so it's good to have a chance to try them out in a training scenario after reading. All in all, Gracie and Peligro do the title justice - offering a wide array of knowledge on submission grappling from a man who's family created the craft. Highly reccomended for any out there struggling to take their ground game to the next level. 5/5, hands down.

Realistic Fighting Techniques,
By Bowen Jensen (Ogden, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Submission Grappling Techniques (Paperback)
This is a must have book for anyone who currently practices Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or who is interested in the art of grappling. I almost have my blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and discovered that while reading through these very helpful step-by-step instructions and detailed photographs, I had many more things to learn about Jiu Jitsu. An awesome book to read because of the real-life-fighting value it has. Royler Gracie is one of the most skilled Jiu Jitsu practitioners I have ever seen. I highly recommend picking one up, regardless of skill level. Another recommendation is "Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, theory and technique" by Renzo, and Royler Gracie.
