Book Reviews of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
Book Review: Great table piece
Summary: 5 Stars
You have to thank Helio for modernizing jiu jitsu. The family name and contribution to jiu jitsu / mma are what made me buy this book. I am grateful and will remember Helio Gracie forever. I purchased it about a week after he died as a personal memorial to him. The content is great if you train with the gi. I would recommend it to everyone just to see the man that really started it all as it relates to modern jiu jitsu.Book Review: Had the book since it's release

This is a legandary man, wish I could have met him. If one wants to get to the roots of Jiu-Jitsu Gracie style, this book is it. I enjoyed the history of Helio in the beginning.Book Review: Helio the great!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is not the tell all to those looking for indepth look at BJJ and technique. It is a great table book to have for all BJJ guys that want a slice of history. Gracie JJ was created and molded by Helio and his bro Carlos to be used as a self defense art. It has taken shape today into a whole new beast. As beautiful as the art has become...this book touches on the self defense aspect of BJJ. There is a ton of stand up defense and a few chapter on the basic Gracie JJ techniques we all know and love..arm bar, triangle etc. Buy this book if you are a true fan..plain and simple!Book Review: Simply the best martial arts book by the world's best martial artists.
Summary: 5 Stars
Helio Gracie's book on his Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the finest compendium ever produced in the world of martial arts. Absolutely brilliant photography masterfully illustrates the details of every move enabling the reader to readily learn Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and with repetitive practice develop the most effective self defense skills in the world today. Brazilian jiu-jitsu's popularity is spanning the globe at an unprecedented rate due to it's effectiveness. All Brazilian jiu-jitsu being practiced today emanated from the one man who mastered it and created Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Master Helio Gracie. I have bought several, as it makes the perfect gift for just about anyone, especially yourself!
