Average Rating:
 Rating: - No ComplaintsJust like I said about UFT vol.2,this is a sport bjj book for begginners.About one in every four moves shown in this book can be translated to mma competition. The moves inside are divided up as follows; 1)Takedowns-22 moves 2)Guard Passes and The Turtle Position-21 moves 3)Side Control-17 moves 4)Mount-17 moves. 5)Rear Mount-8 moves. Once again,Royce links the moves together and this is an excellent book. Rating: - Great reference, with reservations.This is a great reference book on BJJ techniques. However, I do agree with other readers that this book really does not cover UFC technicalities (i.e. strikes). Would definitely recommend for someone studying ground techniques but not for NHB/UFC training. Rating: - Great Book!Any fan of Jiu-Jitsu will love this book! My husband read it constantly. Great illustrations and step-by-step directions on how to do each move. A++ Rating: - Ultimate Fighting TechniquesRoyce Gracie is at his simplistic best,Teaching moves that are simple and will be remembered in the ring. Royce Gracie is the only man in octagon history to defeat 3 oppenents in one night 3times to win the first 3 out of 4 UFC Championships. Rating: - Plenty of pictures but very few submissionsThis book will teach you a lot of very basic drills and ways to move from an offensive position to a stronger offensive position and in many cases teaches you how to defend those same advances. The book has very little about armbars, leg locks and figure 4 triangle leg chokes (although it does have a really cool one to use if you're already mounted past your opponents guard). You'll become efficient at understanding terms like guard, half guard, mount, back, side control and how to move from one ... Read More |
