Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: The Ultimate Guide to Dominating Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts Combat

by Alexandre Paiva

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a guide to the most efficient and devastating techniques in popular martial arts by World Champion and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu legend Alexandre Paiva.

The book contains over 1,000 full-color photographs demonstrating the moves that made the author the most feared competitor in BJJ circles and now one of the most sought-after instructors. Jiu-Jitsu or Jujutsu came into prominence in the early 90's when jiu-jitsu expert Royce Gracie won the first, second, and fourth Ultimate Fighting Championships against much larger opponents who were using other styles such as boxing, muay thai, karate, and wrestling. Since then it has become one of the most popular methods in MMA due to its focus on ground fighting.

Learn the techniques that have proven dominant in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournaments and the Mixed Martial Arts cage:
With sections devoted to both gi and no-gi techniques, whether training for a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament or a Mixed Martial Arts fight, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one book no true competitor can afford to miss.

[WIZE FOoL · Rating 4 out of 5]

There are enough pictures for you to follow the moves and learn how to control and finish. But some of the nuances that you pick up while in class or rolling with partners are missing. Being an Ultimate guide, might have been a little bit strong for the title.
But all in all it will give you the foundations you need throughout your BJJ journey.
Enjoy.

Adequate diagrams, no space for discussion or annotations sadly.

Clear and concise descriptions of moves and techniques. There are many helpful pictures to show you each step as you go. This book would be very helpful for anyone who was trying to learn Jiu-jitsu.
