Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt Techniques Paperback – October 1, 2003

Great Resource. I'm a beginner. This is advanced for a beginner. If you are starting your Jiu-jitsu journey, I'd suggest you master the basic moves and have a knowledge of the basics. Because this book is to put together those basic techniques in a sequence given by one of Rickson Gracie's most accomplished and decorated students. Jean Jacques is the technical expert among all his brothers. He is an eight degree red belt if I am correct. I find the techniques in this book educative. The techniques are in a sequence and they are applicable for both gi and no-gi. Master Jean displays the techniques in a way they flow from one technique/position to another. You won't be disappointed for buying this one. Go for it. Oss.

If you want to elevate your preexisting Jiu Jitsu game then I highly recommend this book. It won't teach a novice the fundamentals as you need that classroom ins. But if you have some knowledge of the art this will elevate your game on the mat! From a representative family you cannot and will not go wrong with this one.

My favorite book for a long time. I loaned mine out and never got it back. This purchase is to replace it in my collection.

Great explanations and pictures... This book has a nice flow to it. I have been enjoying reading it. You should have a good understanding of bjj to better appreciate this book... As the title implies this is not a book for beginners.

very good book it has very interesting submissions and a diferent way to apply the ordinary submissions it is a really good book i recomend it 100% the other good book is saulo ribeiro university of jiu jitsu this one is a must for every bjj practicionar

solid w details...

This is a great book for advanced techniques. There are plenty of pictures and it is well explained.

ok

一つの技に大きめ写真５つもあれば、英語が苦手でも理解できそうです。基本的な動きからの意外な攻め方があったりと、よくある基本技の手引書とは少しずれた視点が、買って納得の一冊。白から紫帯まで、技ネタ本としての価値高め。それぞれの帯でのステップアップに期待できそうですよ。

This book corrects the abomination that was "The Essence of BJJ" by brother Rigan. Black Belt Techniques is beautifully written and photographed, like all the Invisible Cities BJJ books.The best part of the book is the introduction, and a lot of Jean-Jacques's wisdom is in there. Unlike a lot of books, you get the feeling that you are reading the words of a man who is an expert and intends to teach you - like an instructor in real-life, rather than reading a manual of techniques.If you are an experienced BJJ or Judo practitioner, this is the book for you. The text does assume prior knowledge of a lot of the technique involved, and is not a beginners' book. Having said that, I don't think it's aimed at black belts. If it were, I don't think JJ Machado would make any money at all on it.Along with the Renzo/Royler book, this is all you really need in terms of BJJ books. Of course, it's pretty much useless without mats, a training partner and a good teacher.
