Summary: Useful for extra learning Brazilian jiu-jitsu
Comment: Passing the guard is very useful book for the one who allready practiced or read about basic elements of bjj. Let me tell some things about photos. The photography is most immportant thing in martial arts books. The quality of the photos, in this book, could be bether-they are all overexposed, and the book is overdosed with the photos. I counted it 1578! The good thing is that the partners are wearing different gis (blue and white) what must be the rule in every book.

Summary: The best book on Brazilian Jiu-jitsu to date!
Comment: This is an awesome piece of work. Tim Cartmell and Ed Beneville are two southern Californian Jiu-jitsu enthusiasts who are also regular competitors in the tournament scene.
I am getting a little bit tired of books that try to take on the entire subject of grappling or Jiu-jitsu. This is too vast a subject, and, as a result, 99% of books are function simply as yet another generalized introduction.
By taking one subject (albeit a very complex subject) and really exploring it very thoroughly, this book could actually directly result in noticeable skill improvements RIGHT AWAY. This book not only shows a technique, but it often shows you three or four counters to that technique, some counters to those counters, and then discusses the strategy and psychology of these moves. Even if all you do is browse through it, you are more than likely to come across an 'answer' to one of your grappling 'problems'.
Tim and Ed show all the techniques wearing the gi, but even grapplers who disdain the gi will find that 70 or 80% of the material is directly relevant to them.
This book is desktop published, and aside from one or two (very) minor glitches is very slick and professional. All the photos are in color, and a position is often shown from more than one angle.
