(More customer reviews)This review will be short. Like all the other reviewers have said, this book is superb. The subject matter is extremely well organized, so already it has addressed what has been a major problem-in my mind anyway-of all of these other books. Organization. It was certainly noticeable in Royce and Charles' self-defense techniques, which was too bad as the techniques were all quite good in that one. My only problem with this effort by Kid and Royce for this book is the title. Ultimate Fighting Techniques is not exactly appropriate unless this material will be fleshed out some more in the rest of the series. I know we can expect another volume on the bottom position, but UFT is really a book about sport BJJ with a little self-defense against punches and kicks thrown in. Royce doesnt' address striking on the ground much at all. And his low kick entries are very, very basic. I am not saying that the book shouldn't be purchased, just that if you are expecting a treatise on NHB techniques this isn't exactly the book you are looking for. If you are looking to sharpen every aspect of your BJJ top game than definately get this book.
