Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - Self-Defense Techniques By Gracie (Book)

Brazilian jiu-jitsu is one of the most effective self-defense systems. This guide to the self-defense techniques taught in the classes of Royce Gracie, one of the biggest figures in the world of jiu-jitsu, provides lessons that anyone - regardless of strength or size - can learn to neutralize an attacker in seconds. It offers a variety of defenses to use against knife and gun attacks, as well as escapes from headlocks, choke holds, and other situations that attackers use on the street. Advice on practicing, falling and rolling, and following a specific diet make this book the next best thing to taking the classes itself...
