Description

This is a manual designed to get White Belts to competent Blue Belts in as fast a time as possible.

Zen Jiu Jitsu is more a rendition of concepts than techniques. This is the simplest and easiest way to break down and simplify the many and varied ideas, philosophies and combinations in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu arsenal. For both competition jiu jitsu and self defense jiu jitsu most white belts need to fully understand the concepts, but it can be VERY confusing!

Here is a short list of a few of the questions students ask, that are covered in depth:

  • What is the guard and how do we utilize it best?
  • What options do we have from guard?
  • Why is posture and distance important?
  • The mount is a powerful position but how do I get there?
  • ... And when I do get there, how do I stay there?

This is a great manual for anyone just starting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Traditional Jiu Jitsu, MMA and Grappling.

Wow!!!

So I picked up this, the second book in the series, first.
About halfway through... I grabbed the first one as well!
I have been practicing martial arts for over 25 years & teaching for over 16 years. I recently started BJJ & I learned more from this book than six months in class!!!
If you want to improve your game...
GET. THIS. SERIES!!!

Pretty helpful!

This book is not a how too but if your very new to jiu jitsu it gives you a good start on what you should be focusing on, and a good foundation of general concepts.

Loved!

I've been practicing for about a year and a half almost daily, currently a four stripe white belt. Absolutely great information, a lot of important concepts to think about, and a lot of further reading suggestions offered. Would recommend to anyone who is starting jiu jitsu through newly promoted blue belts.

Great read Narrator a little annoying

The Info in this book is great. The
narrator sounds too dry and mispronounces a lot of BJJ terms and names like Rickson Gracie & De La Riva.

No shade thrown though. Great read!

Great book, terrible narration

Awesome book, very educational for bjj practitioners of all levels. The narrator has never stepped foot on the mats and doesn't really know what he is reading which is kind of a disappointment. Highly recommend

Extremely general

This narrator was difficult to listen to.
If I were reading this book with a hi-liter in hand, I wouldn’t need to remove its cap.

It’s stated that this book is more about mindset, and not technique. That’s fine. There weren’t any gems in the first 4 chapters, and I’m not going to be completing the book.

This book may be useful for someone with low self esteem or the inability to plan long-term goals.

Buy the book...

Terrible narration, mis-pronounced names, techniques and worst of all - no diagrams... just some narrator reading captions.. When they said it's not a technical manual I figured 'ok great! this will be a great listen in my car commuting for a couple of days'

Wrong... and wish I could get a refund.

Skip the audio version - it's got a few memorable quotes but as a zero stripe, white belt - I found the audio book almost worthless.

A must have for BJJ practitioners at any level!

Just finished for the third time. A must have especially when the fire goes cold. A reminder of how long the journey is and to enjoy every roll.
