Review: One of the great ones - At the time of the writing of this review, I am new to BJJ as a sport, wearing a white belt, but I come to it with 15 years of experience practicing a high-end competitive Judo and instructing in Judo a superb, 6x BJJ world champion, another BJJ black belt, and several upper degree BJJ practitioners. In other words, I am new to the art/sport as a formal practitioner, but I am fairly experienced and qualified to judge, and with plenty of "hours" in submission grappling to know what I am looking for when it comes to a BJJ book. With all of these experiences in mind, when I started BJJ I started looking for the source that is not showing me the umptieth complicated technique and the latest variation of the x,y,z guard, but the one that tells me what makes BJJ really work. What are the principles of the sport/art ... what fundamentals underlie the techniques. What is the closest to the essence of BJJ as one can find. I looked for this because I looked before and found similar sources for Judo which really helped me "made" my Judo, (Judo has dozens of techniques too, but there are also some core principles that are far more valuable to learn to become an expert than to learn every variation of every nage or ne waza technique). This book gave mostly did accomplish to give me that access to the "wisdom" that I was looking for it. Not talking about the particular variations of techniques but really teaching you what makes BJJ a BJJ, what is its practical philosophy, what makes it work, and how should you absorb it. It is also an interesting general read. Paulo Guillobel loves chess, and he quotes the chess masters throughout the book, which I find it extremely fitting, and just satisfying. Furthermore, he truly decomposes the principles and gives a very good breakdown of the fundamentals in every area - positioning, techniques, anatomy, etc. Beware, it is a short book, and it is more a book of practical wisdoms than a in-depth tutorial. It complements very nicely Saulo Ribeiro's Jiu Jitsu University. Finally, it is also well written. Non-pretentious, but competent and engaging. Only thing left desired are better photos, but the book comes with a free access to videos of the demonstrated principles which more than compensates for the OK photos. With all this said -- I give it an easy five. For fellow Judoka or those familiar with Judo books - I would compare this book to "Judo Heart and Soul" by Hayward Nishioka.
Review: Worth it - I don’t leave many reviews, but felt this book was worth the time. I have been practicing Jiu Jitsu for about 1.5 years now and found this book very helpful. It is written clearly, and covers what you would expect from the title: fundamental principles. I have probably heard all or most of it before, but this book does a nice job of summarizing and explaining the how and why. The videos that accompany the book (link to the videos are provided in the book, just need a quick registration) are great too, although there isn’t any new information provided in the videos, the visual and auditory intake of the information helps to lock the information into your memory. I would recommend reading this in pieces, one chapter a week, so that you can focus a few practices on each principle before moving to the next. I also think this would be an excellent book to read on a regular basis, say once per year, as your skills develop.
