Summary: Good idea but has problems
Review: As other people have stated, the product is full of good ideas. Although lacking in the number of submissions, this book is a good overview of the basic, bare-bone techniques for groundfighting. This book was written at a time when training in BJJ or submission fighting was relatively new for a lot of people, so it is not as sophisticated as many of the new instructional tapes and videos. In other words, this looks like a book for the martial artist in Karate or kickboxing who has some interest in groundfighting. If you have no background in BJJ or submission fighting, this book might be for you if your money is burning your pocket. If you have access to BJJ classes, seminars, or instructional videos, you are not getting enough bang out of your buck to make this a worthwhile purchase. The quality of the photos leave a lot to be desired, often leaving out subtle intermediate steps. Sometimes the photos are too dark to clearly see what is happening. Other times it is not very clear that the information on the page matches the photographs at all. The biggest disappointment for me was the quality of the actual product. The paper was not very good quality and neither was the notebook. This is not a product that will last a long time if used as intended - removing pages to be taken with you to the gym or leafed through as a reference book on a regular basis. I would be happy to buy a bound book (softcover or hardcover) and just make photocopies of the pages I'm interested in to take to the gym. I really wanted to like this book, but I found it did not meet expectations. For the price of this notebook, you are better off spending your money on a seminar or instructional video. Although a lot of people in BJJ are turned off about Judo, you will learn a lot of the basic techniques in this book by looking at Judo books such as "Best Judo" by Isao Inokuma which cost a fraction of the price (about 25% of the reviewed product's price).

Summary: Expensive but FULL of Techniques
Review: Big. Massive. A ton of great stand-up/groundfighting moves. Because it's in a binder, a less-than-honest person might buy one edition and photocopy others for his work-out buddies...

Summary: Good basic info though not worth the admission price
Review: First I'd like to state the obvious, which is that any martial art is practically impossible to learn from a book and should be practiced constantly in a martial arts class with a trained instructor. That being said, this is a good book that covers many of the basic techniques taught in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This means the bulk of the info is about groundfighting with some very basic information about standup strikes. The information is simple but good with decent pictures and explanations. ALthough listed as 800 moves, I have to admit I was surprised at the small number of submission holds the book actually contained. All the basics are taught but there weren't many that wouldn't be learned in your first few months in a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class. I'd say about half the submission holds would be learned in your first month of training. This book contains good information and is useful as a reference guide to help you remember the moves taught in a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class but if you're looking for innovation or a comprehensive list of all possible moves, this doesn't come close. A decent book but in my opinion is not really worth the price.

Summary: I liked it, but...
Review: For most of my life I have trained stand-up. I have been training BJJ three times a week for the last year. I am always looking for ways to imporve my game. When I found the book I was excited and ordered it immediatly. It took forever for the book to arrive, by the time it did I had great expectations. Probably the greatest was to bring pages for open class and use them to train. But when the book arrived I found the pages were paper, and as a result wouldn't last one session on the mat. I expected the pages to be plastic or covered. I mean for the price of the book I figured the pictures would be in color, not xeroxed photo copies. I was so taken back by those pages in paper I glanced at the book and returned it. The information in the book looked accurate, but wasn't anything new. I wasn't expecting to get some great revelation. What I expected was pages that I could lay out on the mat and practice moves until I felt comfortable with it. Every class we learn new moves, but remembering them, remembering small details is where I thought the book would help. For the price of the book the pages should be plasitic and in color with crisp pictures.

Summary: Best Martial arts book ever
Review: I am writing this because I feel out of all of the Martail arts video's, books, and anything else that I have been to this is the best. If you want to start learning how to grapple and you want to d oit the right way don't buy a video, or somehing like that, get this book. The rerason I say this is if you go to a gym tjo train for a fight you usally can't bring a tv and a vcr right next to the mat. Whereas if you get this book you can bring it straight to the mat look in the index ,where you need to work on, look at the techniques and you can practice them.The number of topics alone are enough to start you off to be a grappler. I mean there are over 800 techniques that range from the gaurd, to stand up fighting. If you read and practice every technique in this book you are almost insured to win any grappleing fight. This is truely a fighters notebook. It took about 4,500 hours to make this book, tha tis how good it is. Oh yeah, did I mention thst I have been in about 6 NAGA tournaments and I am still learning from this book.

Summary: [...]
Review: I have been training in the martial arts for 25 years and have about 5 years experience in mixed martial arts. Through this time I have trained with different masters, I have watched hours of videos and read dozens of books. Of course no video or book can make up for a good training session but if you are willing to put in the time this book will give you the tools you need to practice. The one thing I like the most about this book is that I can easely have it handy next to the mat and look at the instructions when practicing a move. Do yourself a favor and buy this book.

Summary: Excellent work
Review: If you want to learn how to fight, get this book. It has almost every Brazilian jujitsu, sambo, and submission grappling technique. If you want to learn submission wrestling, don't buy Robert Fergusons book "Submission fighting" this is the book to get. It has around 700 pages and each page has alot of info and the directions and pictures are easy to follow and understand. Not only does it have grappling and submissions, it covers all types of striking and takedowns as well. This book will make you a complete fighter. You should get it if you are a begginer or advanced. Now if you want to be a complete fighter you need to get this book, as well as "Winning wrestling moves" and "Greco-roman wrestling" for takedowns and you'll be set. The only bad thing about this book is the price but, you will probably think that it's worth it.

Summary: Great for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu students
Review: If you're studying BJJ, then you will probably find this book very useful. But if you are primarily a striker, then this is not the book for you. I gave it only 4 stars because I believe that an ideal fighters' guide includes more tips on striking.

Summary: high priced but very good
