Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-09-13 Summary: Excellent - solid explanations, lots of pics, good quality publishing ... I bought this book as an experience white belt (read: about a year of BJJ), after reading the excellent, but light-on-technique "Mastering JuJitsu" (5 stars on it's own). Obviously you'll never truly learn BJJ from a book, but it certainly helps. Joyler is kind of a secret hero for me since we're both skinny little guys. If you're looking for a book with lots and lots of techniques, this is a great first step. Even if you manage to find a better one, this money will not be wasted. The pics are large and from multiple ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-12 Summary: great no gi bjj book ... this is a great no gi bjj book and actually a really good gi bjj book, too, since I believe that if you can utilize all our opponents limbs fluently it's gonna be much easier for us to utilize their gi and limbs. So this book is actually a great book since you can learn the higher level one but at the same time, of course, it's not for the beginner, especially when they are beginner who learn a gi bjj. Hey, there's always two side of a coin, isn't it? ;p anyway, if anyone is interested in learning a basic bjj (which ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-04-06 Summary: Great for Gi and No-gi grapplers alike ... This book just like most in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu series can help improve your game tremendously. The book begins with a great theory section where Royler diverges secrets to training and becoming a champion among other great points. Sections on grips and drills are a great addition to the book. Grips are especially important to discuss when talking about grappling without a Gi since there is a whole new set. There is a good amount of techniques from any position that will work in Gi and no Gi situations. The authors ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2000-08-23 Summary: The essence of martial science... ...

The material in this book can be used creatively as a guide to the applications of the forms described in volume one. This edition also contains an introduction to Chi Sau exercises, a vital component to Wing Chun training. What I like most about Smith is his open-minded perspective; in this book, he sights some of the strengths and weaknesses of the style, and he's not afraid ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-07-29 Summary: Very Well Done Guide to Grappling/Joint Techniques in Tae Kwon Do ... I have to say that I was quite pleasantly surprised to see this book in our local big chain bookstore earlier today. So much so in fact that I actually read through the vast majority of the book while still in the store. One of the first things to really strike me about the authors and this book, was the blatant honesty that they used when describing their martial art of Tae Kwon Do and the various myths and outright lies that exist concerning this Korean martial art. Their honest reminded me of another very honest ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2006-03-24 Summary: Excellent text for a beginner, intermediate or advanced student ... One of the difficult problems confronting authors writing books on martial arts is how to handle the wide range of audiences. This books ignores that problem by focusing on the concepts themselves. So the sharp beginning student has all the grounding in what is going on just as well as advanced students who may already know from experience that different techniques worked but really had no understanding why or how. The slower students will be challenged by the amount of material covered and the depth it is dealt with ...more
