Summary: If you want to know what Ju-Jitsu is, read this book.
Review: As a president of "Israel Ju-Jitsu Full Contact Association" I recommend this book very much. Every Ju-Jitsuan must have this book.
Rating: 
Summary: Impractical
Review: The previous reviews must have come from students of theauthor's, or students of students of the author's. Perhaps friends ofthe author? I can't imagine anyone thinking this book is good. A good comedy, maybe.The techniques in this Ju-Jitsu book are almost offensive in terms of practicality. And though he does outline some tactics and concepts for applying the techniques of this art, this is most likely a book for his students to read so they can brush up for their tests, but not for serious self-defense. In fact, this is not a book for any one interested in learning self-defense. Buy the book if you want to get killed on the street. Otherwise avoid it, unless you're a student of the author, of course. I'd hate to see what the "Basic" book is like, and as funny as this particular book is, it's not worth the money to buy it, even for a good laugh.

Summary: Good follow-up to Kirby's basic book on Jujitsu
Review: This book contains some valuable techniques and is worth owning (in my opinion). I personally use some of the ideas taught therein. For a Jujitsu book even more replete with techniques, however, I recommend his basic book on JuJitsu. I use several ideas from that guide, too.
Rating:
Summary: Excellent approach to jujitsu
Review: This book does not attempt to cover the entire jujitsu syllabus, but addresses specific topics, such as dealing with multiple attackers, varyations on techniques and self-defence situations.
The techniques are well chosen and clearly illustrated.
This is a worthwile buy for anyone interested in jujitsu, but is most applicable to the senior kyu and early dan grades.
It is a pitty he has not followed it up with an "Advanced Techniques of Jujitsu".
