Jiu-Jitsu for Beginners: An Illustrated Introduction to the World's Hottest Martial Arts Discipline Paperback – Import, 4 January 2009

I originally checked this book out of the library. I noticed it had a lot of information and practices that coincides with my current martial art of Goju Ryu Karate so I bought it and added it to my library.

The person that Wrote this book has trained my instructor's instructors. David Walker is a very experienced person in this martial art. He teaches you a very effective moves that will work in real life. Most of the core stuff that we do in this type of martial art are real and they are not as stupid as UFC. I real life situations fights will last max 4min. in that 4min you either dead or you are the winner. Jitsu will take your fears away and Jitsu will teach you things that you can use in your daily life. Jitsu will teach how to protect yourself from a fight. Jitsu will tell you about the opponent mentality and when to take actions.It will take a great time, effort, blood and sweat to become an instructor. If you don't like to be touched in training sessions please don't waste your time and the clubs time. Because You will be kicked, punched and thrown during training sessions - Once you passed your first grading. Great book.... God bless David Walker and Jitsu Foundation.

Good book served well, to improve my skill.

Not exactly what I was looking for, for the price the graphics and content are fine.For BJJ this is not the book, it covers nothing if anything you will be looking for.For Chokes and leg locks there are also other books out there with greater content and depth.

It was easy to follow, clear explanations and fun doing!
