Book Reviews of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Submission Grappling Techniques (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu series)
Book Review: A "recipe book" of ground fighting techniques
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book for those who wish to take their submission grappling game to the next level. As other reviewers have pointed out, it's not a book for beginners. Instead, it lays out in detail 103 techniques that an intermediate or advanced grappler can apply on the mat.
Every technique but one is given a single two page spread (the knee-through half-guard pass gets four pages) so you can see the entire sequence laid out at once. The action is easy to understand: the pictures are large and in color, Royler is always in white and his opponent in black, and the viewpoint of the action is constant. When an alternate viewpoint is given, it is shown in a circular or oval picture, so it's easy to distinguish from the main flow of movement. The visual content of the pictures is so solid that very little expository text is required. Each technique is prefaced with a paragraph explaining where it might be useful, and each photo has a sentance or two pointing out the pertinant details.
The techniques are grouped in a logical order. For each of the starting positions there are usually three or four different techniques detailed, and these are found adjacent to one another in the book. For instance techniques 57 through 60 are all escapes from the half-guard. Moreover, the starting positions follow a logical progression: Techniques 29 through 36 are escapes from the mount, which usually puts you in a kneeling closed guard; Techniques 37 and 38 are ways to pass the kneeling closed guard, and so forth.
Finally, I use this book as a kind of "grappler's cookbook". In the morning while I'm on the cardio machines, I'll open this book to a random two-page spread and study that "recipe" -- visuallizing ways to execute the technique and ways to counter it. When I go to my grappling club later in the week I always find that at least one of the techniques has stuck with me enough that I can pull it off. If you're an intermediate or advanced grappler looking to fill out your repetoir of moves, I can't recommend this book highly enough.
