Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Self Defense Techniques...
Paperback. Brazilian jiu-jitsu is taking the world by storm. The most in-demand martial arts style in the United States has turned the martial arts upside down by emphasizing real-life situations and results over the dramatic kicks and throws of formal competition. Brazilian jiu-jitsu, which adapted traditional Japanese jiu-jitsu to streetfights, simply wins - against wrestlers, kick-boxers, judo experts, and tae kwon do practitioners - regardless of size. The secret? In real fights, the combatants usually clinch and fall to the ground. It is there that the fight is decided. Punches don't matter. Fancy moves don't matter. Just get your opponent in a choke or lock and it is over. This is the genius of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The same qualities that make Brazilian jiu-jitsu the most efficient of martial arts make it the greatest self-defense technique ever devised. Now Royce Gracie, the most famous jiu-jitsu figure in the world, presents in book form the same self-defense techniques he teaches in his classes, which are popular with the U.S. military, police academies, and women's self-defense schools alike. Using these lessons, anyone - regardless of strength or size - can learn to neutralize an attacker in seconds. The book offers a variety of defenses to use against knife and gun attacks, as well as escapes from headlocks, choke holds, and other situations you are likely to encounter on the street. All end with the attack defused and you in complete control of the situation without having thrown a single punch. Advice on practicing, on falling and rolling, and on following the famed "Gracie diet" make Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Self-Defense Techniques the next best thing to taking classes with the master. Royce Gracie shocked the world when he entered the Ultimate Fighting Championship (the largest pay-per-view event at that time) in 1993 as a 175-pound unknown and defeated much larger opponents in record time. He went on to win two more UFCs and many other events. He now runs the Gracie Academy in California and continues to fight professionally. Charles Gracie, a jiu-jitsu champion in Brazil, is the winner of martial arts Superfights in the United States and a leading teacher of the sport. He maintains an academy in San Francisco. Kid Peligro, a leading martial arts journalist, is a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and has twice won the World Masters title.
