5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, 29 Jun 2005

By	M. Higgins (Brighton, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It must be said first that when you order this book you actually receive Volume 1: The Top Game, a later volume for the bottom game I guess will come out in due course which is fine as they're not terribly expensive anyway and it just means you get more detail.

The book itself is very informative and goes into lots of detail for each section and each move or drill. It starts off with some background information on BJJ, Royce Gracie and the helpers, and Royce's philosophy and startegy behind his technique, aswell as belt and positional hierachies.
The book then moves on to Closing the Distance & Clinching, where it goes into great detail on all the main takedowns, clinches, how to measure distance, counters, etc. This section also includes a lot of drills for you to practise with a partner.
Then the book goes on to cover sections on passing the guard, side control, knee-on-stomach, mount, side-mount, taking the back, basically all the top game positions with their relevant submissions, counters and lots of handy tips and details.

As Royce states over and over at the beginning, he prefers the idea of perfecting the simple moves in bjj as these are the ones you will use a lot more than complex moves, and the ones that will invariably work. He goes into detail on how to perfect all the foundation techniques, different ways of training, and different levels of awareness and skill in bjj.

This is a great book as nothing is left out. Every technique is described meticulously, telling you where to place every hand, foot, leg, head etc and what to watch out for in return. The photos are clear, colourful and numerousome, with zoomed in features to highlight details such as grip. Buy this book whether you're a veteran or a beginner in bjj/nhb as i'm sure you'll enjoy it as I did.
