Ultimate Fighting Techniques (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu series) Paperback – April 1, 2005

This book will teach you a lot of very basic drills and ways to move from an offensive position to a stronger offensive position and in many cases teaches you how to defend those same advances. The book has very little about armbars, leg locks and figure 4 triangle leg chokes (although it does have a really cool one to use if you're already mounted past your opponents guard). You'll become efficient at understanding terms like guard, half guard, mount, back, side control and how to move from one position to a stronger using proven techniques. I give the book 5 stars because the techniques presented are well taught using pictures and easy to understand language. This book focuses mainly on techniques used to attack your opponent, today I'm ordering the second book of the series on ground game defense, after all, there's nobody better at defending a ground position than Royce.

I recently got into BJJ and MMA and found this book to be very helpful. Every move has a series of pictures associated with it, which helps for those who don't know all of the terminology yet. I use it as a reference book now, since it is near impossible to memorize every move without having done them. Pick a move, read it in detail, look at the pictures, go to class, try to set up your position and apply the move. Highly recommended for beginner to intermediate BJJ players.

Great teaching tool. I intend to buy volume 2 this month. You learn as you work these techniques with a partner. Practice each one ten times each.

Good

This book does a pretty good job of showing technique and providing helpful tips. However, one will not get very much out of it w/o already having a solid grasp of grappling basics and concepts. It does a good job but must be supplemented w/ actual practice... of course.

royce gracie is a great fighter..he also a great teacher..this book helps you to understand the fighting techniques of him..he sincerely teach you his fighting tehnigues...

This book gives detailed and excellent advice on the "Gracie" ways of this art. My husband, who is a fan, was absolutely satisfied and reads it over & over. An excellent choice.

Great overview of BJJ combining old school and new school bjj. very good flow between techniques. Very Royce influenced book, recommend highly
