In today’s modern practice and study of Jiu-Jitsu, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the endless amount of content available on technique. You may find yourself taking in too much at once and remembering little when trying to apply what you have learned. While learning technique is critical to progressing in Jiu-Jitsu, principles and concepts are what bind it all. Focusing on principles as a beginner, will give you better direction and make techniques you learn more applicable. This results in greater success and quicker development. The advanced practitioner can sometimes lose focus of these principles over time due to the complexity of Jiu-Jitsu. This guide should serve as a reminder to the importance of principles in developing new technique. In The Complete Guide for Jiu-Jitsu Concepts and Principles, you will find both physical and mental training strategies to improve your game.
Good overview for beginners starting BJJ. This isn't really related to other styles of Jujitsu. It covers basic positions and discussions on rolling. It has good section on how to train at each level based-on rank, including what to look for and how to check your ego at the door. I liked the commentary on how to train with lower-skilled practitioners. Sometimes repeating a submission helps them learn. Sometimes you need to go into a different mode and train other aspects of your game, such as developing sensitivity. This is not a How-To technique book.
