Summary: A GREAT JIU JITSU BOOK
Comment: I bought this book when I was a whitebelt with about 2 weeks jiu jitsu experience, with the intention of actually "learning" moves from it. The book definately served me in that aspect as I was able to get an understanding of the moves from the excellent pictures and descriptions in the book and apply them when sparring. Now that my understanding of jiu jiujitsu has grown, I still come back to this book, not to learn moves, but for the details of how to correctly do them. The pictures and descriptions in this book are excellent, and this book is very useful for both beginners and advanced practicioners. Even now, I still find details in the book that I use to improve my game.
Buy this book. Your jiujitsu will improve. Possibly the best jiujistu book ever (i've only seen a few of them, but of the ones i've seen this is by far the best).

Summary: this book is the best
Comment: I've seen a lot of giraffe hunting manuals in my time, but this one is the worst ever made.
Where are the single picture of a giraffe in this book.
Secondly, why are these men wearing those robes?
How do they keep them so white and clean out on the hot african savanah ?
Totally impractical.
Only a fool would by this book. Therein lies the jib. In this sense its a brilliant cash cow, a real genius scheme, if i do say so. Brilliant! Good show then!Let the cash roll in boys, and my 5 stars to you as well.

Summary: There's the BEST then there's the BESTEST
Comment: ...ok bestest isn't a word but in this case it should be. I learn by watching. During class, my instructor Jay (worldthreatjiujitsu.com) shows us a couple of techniques. Some of us are standing and some are kneeling while we watch the move. I'm always standing so I'm prepared to walk around Jay while he demonstrates the technique. This allows me to get multiple views of the move. It's not possible to learn the move properly by watching from one position.
What IS missing from class demonstrations (sometimes) are `sidebar` type comments, the comments `between` steps of each move. You usually get that when he is done and he watches what you are doing wrong or you just try it yourself and figure it out through practice. The book explains all these intricate steps between the moves AND provides pictures of them too. For the purpose of giving the most accolades for this book, my view is: By using this book solely as instruction and practicing with a partner, it wouldn't be necessary to go to a class to learn Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. Although, NOT going to class would be stupid.
