Review: Although Norman Leff has superior talents writing is not one of them. The writing is ponderous and the photographs are useless. There is nothing to be gained by purchasing or reading this book. Save your money and buy something else.

Summary: MARTIAL ARTS LEGEND
Review: HAVING READ THIS BOOK AS A MARTIAL ARTS PRACTICTIONER I FELT IT WAS AS DETAILED IN THE MANUEVERS AS A BOOK CAN BE. IT LEFT ME WISHING FOR A VIDEO TO SUPPLEMENT THE PICTURES. MASTER LEFF WENT BRIEFLY INTO THE HISTORY OF HIS JIU JITSU KNOWLEDGE AND BACKGROUND WHICH WAS INTERESTING, MORE OF THE FORTY YEARS OF MARTIAL ARTS TALES WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE. A LARGER, MORE DETAILED BOOK WOULD BE NICE, BUT IN COMPARISON OF THIS VERSES OTHER MORE EXPENSIVE BOOKS, I FOUND THIS BOOK COMPREHENSIVE, EASY TO FOLLOW, AND BASICALLY A GOOD MARTIAL ARTS GUIDE. I LOOK FOWARD TO A MORE DETAILED BOOK WITH POSSIBLY MORE OF THE HISTORY OF THIS DYNAMIC SYSTEM AS WELL AS STORIES OF HIS LIFE,( WHICH I'M SURE MUST BE INTERESTING WITH OVER 40 YEARS OF MARTIAL ARTS STORIES, ECT..) AS WELL AS MORE COMPLEX MOVES. OVERALL AN EXCELLENT BOOK FOR THE PRICE..........

Review: NORM LEFF IS ONE OF THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE JIUJITSU INSTRUCTORS IN THE COUNTRY. THIS SIMPLISTIC YET STREET EFFECTIVE SYSTEM IS EASY TO LEARN. THE PHOTOS SHOW A LOT AND MUCH INFORMATION CAN BE GATHERED FROM THEM IF YOU HAVE THE SLIGHTEST MARTIAL ART INSIGHT.

Review: Save your money and buy the fighters notebook instead.
My copy of Norms book will be going up for sale on ebay in the near future. I expect shipping will be more than the the final bid price. JMHO.
