Format:Paperback
Initially when I tried to purchase this book from Amazon I was confused as Amazon have accidentally listed it under 'K. Bell' instead of the internationally acclaimed ju-jitsu teacher Mr Kevin Pell. A slip-up on Amazon's behalf I think! Oops! Hopefully they will spot that error and correct it!!!
I have both the cards and the book format. The book is great if you are a training nut like me and want to read up on different techniques when on the train, flying or even on the loo!!! I read the book when I am any place other than training on the tatami!
The cards are fanstastic for use whilst training as you can select the technique you want to practice and have the card on the floor beside you. They are 'wipe-clean' so if you are sweaty they will not get damaged. You don't have to worry about the book closing on you. All in all, a great idea!!!
The techniques themselves are amazing, effective and easy to follow, with both pictures and written descriptions. Kevin Pell also writes an excellent and no-nonsense introduction, offering information and practical advice on what you need to start training, the spirit of Martial Arts and what to look for in a club so you don't get ripped off. In my opinion, this is a bargain buy for the volume of quality information. A 'must have' for anyone wanting to know any self-defence/Ju-Jitsu techniques. I hope this author writes some more soon!!!

Excellent Jujitsu book......for kids
13 Nov 2011
Format:Paperback
I have loved Soke Kevin Pell and his Ishin Ryu Jujitsu system, so as you can guess when I found out he had a publication of his style of jujitsu and was jumping up and down with bugged out eyes. Well when I got the book, my eyes bugged out again, but not from excitment but saying wtf is this S***? It's Soke Kevin Pell in cartoon form?????????????? But amazingly enough.....the book is good. The art is mediocre, honestly, but the bodies are draw well enough that the defensive techniques are clear to see with an easy step by step to see the applications for blocks, locks, strikes, disarming, and a small section on ground fighting. This is a great book for kids that would have an interest in Jujitsu that doesn't come from Brazil.....even though Soke Kevin Pell is from England.....yeah. But it does have practical applications for children in the book as well. And by practical I mean techniques that are not going to totally maim someone. You may need to sit and read the book with your children to start, but......don't expect them to say," DAD, the is the greatest eff'n book ever."(Of course if my child said that I would say watch your eff'n mouth and continue with the effective and not so maiming joint locks in this book.) Jujitsu is a beautiful art that has everything you could ever want in an art. This book doesn't have an activities section but the kids and Soke Kevin Pell look so damn happy all the time that this is an ideal kids book up there right between "Curious George" and "where the wild things are." Honestly, look past the cartoons, Great applications. As for me, I'm still trying to connect the dots on the top of Cartoon Soke Kevin Pell's head to reverse his receding hair line.
