"Jiu-Jitsu University is a must-read for any serious judo, jiu-jitsu, or Brazilian jiu-jitsu enthusiast: if you're a neophyte, the book serves as an excellent supplement to your live jiu-jitsu course; if you're a veteran, Jiu-Jitsu University will challenge many of your existing pre-conceptions and take your grappling to a new level. Ribeiro identifies the holes in many tricks and techniques that we old-timers hold in high regard as vital fundamentals, and he does so while outlining clever, competition-tested variations on those old stand-bys. He also outlines an alternative belt system to take the place of the one generally accepted in BJJ schools, and though this alternative belt system is a pretty bold move on Ribeiro's part, its underlying logic will quickly come to win you over. Once the reader overcomes the initial shock caused by the book's innovative approach to foundational jiu-jitsu, this weighty tome's value will be immediately apparent.
In terms of print quality, this is among the best books on the market: glossy pages, color photographs (the partners demonstrating the techniques are wearing uniforms of different colors, and the mats are a different color altogether, making the action very easy to follow), an eye-pleasing layout that employs multiple camera angles where needed...the simple fact is, this book could retail for literally double the price and still be worth every penny.
Aptly named, Jiu-Jitsu University is the first JJ/BJJ book I've encountered that actually passes muster as a bone fide textbook on the subject."
