Description
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a comprehensive guide to efficient and devastating techniques in popular martial arts by World Champion Alexandre Paiva. With over 1,000 full-color photographs, the book showcases the moves that made the author a formidable competitor and sought-after instructor.
The art of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has gained prominence since its expert Royce Gracie's victories in the early 90's Ultimate Fighting Championships against larger opponents using other styles. Its focus on ground fighting has made it a popular method in MMA, with techniques proven dominant in tournaments and cage fights.
Whether training for a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament or a Mixed Martial Arts fight, this book provides essential knowledge of takedowns, passing, guard positions, and control techniques - both in gi and no-gi styles. A must-have for any serious competitor, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is an invaluable resource that no true practitioner can afford to miss.
