Product Description
An introduction to jiu-jitsu from one of its most dominant stars Thanks to the dominance of its practitioners at Ultimate Fighting Championships and other mixed martial arts tournaments, jiu-jitsu has become one of the most popular forms of martial arts in the United States. This fighting technique features ground fighting and submission moves that bewilder even the most ferocious opponents. In Jiu-Jitsu Unleashed, expert Eddie Bravo teaches you the moves that he used to defeat legendary Royler Gracie--a member of the reigning family of jiujitsu--the victory that made him one of the sport's most feared competitors. Jiu-Jitsu Unleashed features: - Detailed instruction on stance, kicks, punches, takedowns, and submissions
- Step-by-step photos of basic and advanced moves modeled by "Fear Factor" host and former "NewsRadio" star Joe Rogan
- Various theories and strategies behind training and competing

 alternative jiu jitsu but i liked it November 30, 2007

i was impressed with the book and illustrations. I practice with a Gi but enjoy using the "lock up" and moves that dont use grabbing the uniform. I will buy the other books soon. the only drawback I can see is if you are not flexible some of the moves will be impossible to pull off.

This book is awesome. I have many Jiu-jitsu books. This book is revolutionary. The thing I love the most about it is how the thought process of each move was explained. Like why you move from one step to the next. It is not simply writen explinations of what you are doing. It is definatly not for the beginner but it will take any other level of player to the next level up. I recomend this book to anyone who has atleast more than 6 months of BJJ. Anyone who is trying to train for reality self-defense or nogi BJJ NEEDS this book. I disagree with the person who says that training with a gi is good for street fighting because "someone on the street will probably have a shirt on." That is b.s. When you train for a fight you don't train for "probably" or "most of the time". You train for worst case scenarios which would be fighting nogi. Anyone with BJJ experience can be taught to perform a collar choke in about half a minute. So skip the gi and go with nogi. You will thank yourself later when you choke someone out who's shirt ripped off in the fight!

Great book. I loved it. I have been able to use most of the techniques in the book to obtain submissions during my roll time.

I was going to write a long summary but here is the book in one sentence.
This book is great as a small instructional of submissions to add to your jiu-jitsu game from positions which you never really liked, or wanted to be in.
