(More customer reviews)I found this book to be a very good one on using Brazilian Jujitsu techniques in a no-gi environment. Compared to other BJJ works, this one is very well organized. As always, the photo quality is quite good. The author starts off by discussing the difference between gi and no-gi training, including tips on defending and passing the guard in no-gi grappling. He then talks about a training routine, including how to be a two-sided grappler and the importance of eliminating one's weaknesses. He goes on to discuss what he thinks it takes to be a champion, including knowing yourself and your opponent and having a good strategy. Then it's on to the actual techniques. Royler covers grips first, assuming that the reader will not be familiar with no-gi grappling. In this section, he covers many different grips that are possable, from locks around the body, to controlling the hands, to ways to hold the legs. The next section contains five drills, two solo and three with a partner, covering things like standing up to a base and setting up for takedowns. Next is 23 standing techniques, many of which are takedowns, and includes some takedown defense. Following that are 75 ground techniques, and include everything from the basic 'upa' escape to combinations of holds. Generally, the techniques seem grouped better in this work; for example, the mount escapes are all shown together, instead of haphazardly strewn throughout the text. The book itself seems oriented towards those who already are familiar with the basics of grappling, but who are trying to transfer from gi to no-gi sports. It could also help suplement a self-defense program, due to it's extensive ground escapes and holds. A pretty good book, but it doesn't explain the principles behind grappling holds, which I feel would have made it much better.
