The Guard Book by Joe Moreira & Ed Beneville #8925
 
The Guard Book by Joe Moreira & Ed Beneville   The Guard is the quintessential Brazilian Jiu Jitsu position. Other martial arts assume that once someone is on their back that the fight is over. But that assumption is unfounded. Fights don’t end just because they hit the ground. For the jiu jitsu man the fight has only just begun. The Guard is a detailed analysis of core concepts, details, and techniques key to success for ground fighting.

Author Joe Moreira reveals secrets of his guard technique developed and refined over his thirty five years studying and teaching martial arts. In this volume he shares the fundamentals of his jiu jitsu, the specific details needed to make it work, and technique ranging from beginning to advanced. The philosophy in this book and of Moreira teaching style is that it is better to understand groups of moves/options from given positions, than isolated moves. This is an exposition of sequences of moves from specific situations, not a collection of random moves. The Guard shows not only how to attack or defend from a position but also how to respond to an opponent’s likely reactions.

Chapters include:

Fundamentals of the guard (core body movement and its application).

Brilliant flow and detail of the techniques. The only problem is where do you start? And thats a good thing...

What a value! There's just so much in this book. The sequencing is excellent, and the generous amount of pictures makes learning from a book much easier. I think another things that sets this book (and the others like it) apart is the symbols used to make following the book easier.
