Budovideos.com - Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Theory and Technique Book by Renzo & Royler Gracie

During the last decade, the martial arts world has looked to innovative mixed martial arts competitions such as the Ultimate Fighting Championship to determine which fighting style is the best. These contests have repeatedly shown the grappling style of martial arts, headed by Brazilian jiu-jitsu, to dominate. The Brazilian jiu-jitsu style stems from the premise, garnered from analysis of actual street fights, that the outcome of any fight is decided on the ground. While most martial arts deal only with the initial punching and kicking stages of combat, Brazilian jiu-jitsu concentrates on ground combat. This guide shows how to use Brazilian jiu-jitsu to increase combat effectiveness. Photographs and step-by-step instructions show how to master the techniques used in this exciting new form of combat. Over 800 color photos!

Renzo Gracie, a two-time world Abu Dhabi submission jiu-jitsu champion, two-time Brazilian national champion, World Combat champion, and Martial Arts Reality Superfight champion, teaches Brazilian jiu-jitsu at an elite martial arts academy. Royler Gracie has competed in the Black Belt ranks for 20 years, winning the world title four times and the Abu Dhabi world submission championship for two consecutive years. They live in New York City.

Also my first BJJ book! I learned so much from here when I was starting out. This should be given to all new students...

The first time I saw this book was in the Barnes & Noble. I picked it up and read how to do the arm bar from mount. I had just started and hadn't learned this technique yet. The next class I was pulling it off on my training partners (no joke). I went back and bought the book so I could learn more. If you are only going to buy one bjj book then this should be it.
