"i find myself going back to this book on a regular basis. the section on an effective half-guard is exceptional. not so much a fan of his hortatory treatise on marijuana use. it is really out of place in a jiu-jitsu instructional."
"Great for those looking for more jiu-jitsu moves, but can't necesarily find a good gym/instructor to practice with. Good color photos on high-quality pages take you through the moves step by step (and most from different angles as well) to give you a complete idea of the moves, with simple, easy to follow instructions to walk you through the process. The only thing that is a little out there is (as most people who have reviewed this book will say and agree with me on) is the introduction. It is filled with how the author basically lived a "hollow, empty existence," with no real joy or emotion in his life. That is, until he was introduced to pot, and how now that he smokes weed, that his whole world has changed, he's a better person, his jiu-jitsu game is much better and blah blah blah. Slightly interesting, but unnecessary in a book like this. A good book nevertheless, and I am anticipating the arrival of its sequel."
"Fantastically and richly detailed. Extensive high-quality, color photos and explanations lay out the framework for this most unique of BJJ practitioners. Truly innovative and ground-breaking work organized in a superb fashion. I'll be purchasing any book this guy puts out.
Just don't bother with his 50-page introduction on why you should smoke marijuana."
