The Bible of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a special book for studying and perfecting the "soft art" of the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It displays in a step by step fashion the technical aspects of various techniques and submissions in details using pictures to make it easy to understand. Grand Master Francisco Mansur shows us how to get out of submissions with a theme that no one has yet explored as deeply. The book continues with the arm lock immobilization using kioto jiu jitsu system practiced in allowing the practitioner to obey a progressive form of reflexive acts, control and intelligence that includes: propioceptive capabilities, psycho motor skills, multiple intelligence, cardio-vascular system, and muscular -skeletal. The kioto jiu jitsu system transforms practitioners into confident people by eliminating the common fear of a physical strikes from the unconscious.

Not For Beginners, But Vital For Experienced Players,
By Dev (Monterey, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bible of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: Kioto Jiu Jitsu System (Paperback)
Grand Master Francisco Mansor is, with the passing of Helio Gracie, the highest-ranking BJJ instructor in the world. A student of Helio's for more than 50 years, Mansor has been a part of the development of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and it was his association with the Tijuca Tennis Club in Rio that led to that establishment being the home of BJJ competition.
Having just experienced a seminar with Grand Master Mansor, I absolutely recommend this book for BJJ players looking to refine their games. As mentioned in other reviews, this book is set up as simply as they come - it's a series of photos with very little explanation. Consequently, I can't recommend this as the first book someone should buy to learn BJJ - I'd opt more for something like Saulo Ribeiro's "Jiu Jitsu University." That said, the techniques Mansor demonstrates in this book are flawless, focused very specifically on basics, and rely on leverage and positioning. Like I said, an absolutely fantastic reference to supplement an existing library.

Not impressed!,

This review is from: The Bible of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: Kioto Jiu Jitsu System (Paperback)
Master Mansur is one of the legends of BJJ, but this book does not do any justice to him or his system. It is more of a pictorial of moves with no explaination of how to execute them. Unless you have some background in BJJ, this book would be very hard to learn from.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Guide or Handbook maybe, but Bible it is not,
By Budo (NY) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Bible of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu: Kioto Jiu Jitsu System (Paperback)
This is primarily a picture book that covers basic positions and moves. There is a short prologue, which is actually reprinted on the back cover, that gives a brief intro of Master Mansur, and reviews the making of the book. It also contains a brief but informative history of Brazilian Jujitsu and Mansur's relationship to Julio Gracie. It lists the belt levels within the system and lists the numbers of lessons within each level, but does not identify what they are. The remainder of the book contains pictures of various positions and moves, with the name or title of each listed in 3 to 6 languages. There is no explanation of any of the moves or positions. There is no discussion of theory, strategy, application, finer points, or the methods of teaching or training each position or technique. The photos are all black and white and most are quite grainy. Most if not all of the finer points of each technique will be lost on any inexperienced person. This may serve well as a guide to beginning students or intermediate students who are beginning to teach and need a memory aide for what they have already been taught. This is not recommended for non-martial artists or beginners, or even advanced students for that matter. Your money would be better spent on other resources.
