I received my book order form Amazon.com today. The Path to the Black Belt by: Rodrigo Gracie and Kid Peligro.
Once I started reading I could not put it down, its very well done.
If there was a text book for intro to BJJ this is it!
Im keeping this in my gear bag.
The Introduction section alone is worth the 20 USD. Its about 40 pages of info ranging from What to look for in an instructor to Conditioning, to avoiding and healing injuries, Taking advantage of your body type and Advancing through the belt system and much more.
The rest of the book is a feast of step by step pictures and detailed instruction in all the basic to advanced techniques that are truly important.
He covers Basic Drills such as turning to your knees, how to fall, some hip throws and more.
Advanced drills dealing with position transitions and such.
He has chapters dedicated to chokes, Joint Submissions, take downs, Guard defense basics, Guard passing basics, sweeps and reversals, half guard passes and defense, the mount and more.
I highly recommend this book its a great deal, very well organized in a logical fashion great pictures and a joy to read.
It answers almost all of the questions I have wanted to know since I started, the information is gold.
So go buy it!!!
