Product Information

I'm going to reemphasise that this is primarily focused on Gi BJJ (I understand that the author won ADCC twice but again, the sport has changed a lot since then) and also it's the GI BJJ of 2009 (no bermimbolos, worm guard etc). While I don't train in the Gi personally, from reading this I can see the moves discussed are fundamentally sound and and excellent base which you can add the more fancy stuff onto if you would like. A lot of references to grips you can't take without the Gi, so you either have to imagine a different grip or skip the move. It then goes on to explain the core concepts of BJJ during the various stages of a fight including the free movement phase, the clinch, ground fighting, the bottom position and the top position. The concepts are explained and illustrated with core BJJ techniques and positions. These techniques are explained with instructions and photos.

Level up your game and learn about the concepts and history of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with these books Grand Master Helio Gracie was introduced to the Japanese art of jiu-jitsu by his brother, Carlos, at such a young age that, as time passed, he no longer remembered many of the techniques in their original form. However, he vividly recalls experiencing great difficulty when he attempted to use the techniques on a larger opponent and, as a result, had to modify nearly everything he had learned to accommodate his frail physique. He points out that, despite the overall effectiveness and value of the Japanese techniques, nearly all of them had one or more limitations that prevented them from being fully useful to him. In most cases, he attributed the limitations to: 1) inapplicability against a striking opponent in a real fight, 2) over-reliance on strength or speed, and/or 3) dependence on body movements that were awkward or uncomfortable for him. Accordingly, he began modifying the art to ensure that every technique was fully street applicable, energy efficient, and based on natural body movements. Using these principles as a guide, he spent several years developing a complete system of self-defense consisting only of techniques that he could successfully apply against larger opponents. Confident in his adaptations, he spent the next thirty years of his life proving his system’s effectiveness by using it to defeat numerous challengers, including several opponents who outweighed him by as much as 100 pounds. whether it's through real fighting scenarios or just improving one's confidence while walking home in the dark. Problem Solving Principle: We have proven the effectiveness of every technique against larger opponents. Here are some facts regarding the use of the techniques against much larger adversaries:

The Gracie Combatives course by Ryron and Rener is by far the best instructional video series I have ever seen. The smoothness of the instruction, and the fact that these techniques definitely work in real fights proves once and for all that Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the best! Your Grandfather would be proud!!!”

The Grappler’s Handbook is a lengthy technical book by Jean Jacques Machado, a BJJ pioneer. The book mostly includes techniques with high quality photographs and instructions. It’s broken up into chapters which include: Total Control: When you learn online at Gracie University, you can go through the curriculum at your own speed, and you have total control over your training schedule. Let me start by saying that I have received my DVD's and I love them. Some of the things that I like the most about your program are the Reflex Development Drills and Fight Simulation Drills, the details to all of your techniques, the indicators, and the outline that comes in the booklet. And the poster I got, which provides me with a visual image of the way all the techniques fit together, is very helpful! Great job guys! I look forward to learning your complete system.” This is by no means a complete encyclopedia for jiu-jitsu, but with one exception it is more than adequate for all fundamentals, especially in the gi. That exception is the perennial one for BJJ: absolutely no discussion of the standup game. Please do not have floor-exclusive jiu-jitsu!!Starting from this year we are running Brazilian Jiu Jitsu sessions. BJJ is a martial arts based on Grappling, Groundfighting, and Submission holds. These sessions will be run seperately to Japanese Jiu Jitsu so feel free to go to either or both! We are eager for new members As a traditional martial artist, I was a firm believer that martial arts could never be learned through the Internet. Gracie University changed my mind.” Optimal Hygiene: The big green mat is swept and sanitized twice a day at Gracie University for the protection of our students. Believe it or not, many jiu-jitsu schools spend several weeks without sanitizing their mats, and students contract a variety of skin infections as a result. When learning from home with a trusted group of friends, you can give proper hygiene the attention it deserves since you will have full control over the cleaning/sanitation of your training area. Our grandfather made it clear that he wanted us to make Jiu-Jitsu available to the people who needed it the most.

The U.S. Army, the world’s most powerful army, chooses Gracie Jiu-Jitsu as the basis for its military combatives program. Members of U.S. Army Special Operations units charged with finding the most effective combatives systems selected Gracie Jiu-Jitsu based on its demonstrated effectiveness. They asked Rorion to develop an intensive training course that would prepare soldiers for hand-to-hand combat in the least amount of time. After thoroughly analyzing hundreds of fights, Rorion identified 36 techniques that were used more often and with more success than all others. He crafted a short course based on these techniques, and presented it to the Army. These techniques now serve as the foundation for the U.S. Army’s Modern Army Combatives Program, and have been adopted by hundreds of military and law enforcement organizations around the world. Today, through the Gracie Combatives program, they are available to private citizens seeking maximum self-defense skills in the shortest amount of time. 2008- The Global Training Program Richard Bresler is Rorion Gracie’s first student in the USA.
