Summary: No katas????
Comment: This book is like a reference for Jean Jacques Machado's class. Almost every technique in the book is one that he teaches in class. It is not a book for beginners but you also do not have to be Jean Jacques to do the moves. You should have some training under your (blue or higher) belt. As with all of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, there are many details that effect the outcome and execution of your technique as well as the reaction of your partner in defending the move. Not all of the details and variables are (or can) be covered in the book. It is a very good reference especially if you are training under a black or high belt that can help you refine your techniques. As anyone in jiu-jitsu should know, there are no prescribed movements. Everything is dependent on "action-reaction" because the guy you're fighting is going to be fighting back for real! There are no katas to practice.

Summary: The Most Advanced Jiu-Jitsu Book to Date
Comment: My first reaction upon receiving this book and browsing it was page after page of "Hmmm, I haven't seen that anywhere else before" and "Hey, that's really cool". This is truly the most advanced jiu-jitsu and submission grappling book released to date. I base this opinion on being a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu brown belt, an instructor under Erik Paulson, having an enormous martial art book and video library, and producing/distributing high-end grappling videos (www.grapplearts.com).
This book is addresses the usual gamut of BJJ techniques (guard sweeps, guard passes, submission setups, etc.) both with and without the gi. Most of the gi material would be directly relevant to no-gi submission grappling as well, as evidenced by Jean Jacques outstanding performances at Abu Dhabi, the most prestigious submission grappling event in the world. The book is about 250 pages, and has 112 carefully detailed technical sequences.
This would be a great book to get if you are an advanced grappler or an intermediate grappler trying to step it up a notch. Novice grapplers won't find any of the basics they need to learn in this book, but it would still be a pretty cool book to own if they are disciplined enough to continue training the basics.
Enjoy!

Summary: Techniques worth looking at.
Comment: Like most of the BJJ books being put out now, this book has detailed, color pictures, and the sequences are numbered and labeled. Unfortunatly, the contents is a little lacking. I think that the biggest disadvantage here is that these moves require an understanding of body movement that can't really be conveyed in a book. While many of these moves end in a common submission hold, or have some other familiar element to them, they try to be "advanced" by showing different entries. I think the term "Black Belt Techniques" is well applied, because I think you'd have to be fluent in the basics in order to pull off most of these moves. For those with a good deal of experience in BJJ or submission wrestling, this is an OK book to look at, but I'm not sure the average reader or casual practitioner could gain too much from this. In my experience, the moves presented here are ussually the kind of things you stumble on while in the middle of a match. For the record, the first 85 techniques are all gi techniques, while the remaining 27 are no-gi holds, though as stated in other reviews, many of the gi techniques can be applied to no-gi situations, though not as many as I was led to believe. I'd recommend this book for intermediate or advanced students, but only if you really feel that your arsenal is lacking, or if you have a partner whom you can really drill these moves with.
