In order to be able to train effectively in Jiu-Jitsu, this book has been constructed to cover the basic positions, techniques and combinations required. "Jiu-Jitsu Training" moves on from the author's first book, "Jiu-Jitsu - The Basics", and is directed at every Jiu-Jitsuka who has learned the basics and wants to improve. In more than a thousand illustrative photographs, the techniques are explained step by step. In addition to this, the reader will find an introduction to self-defence in groundwork. Themes about self-defence against attacks with weapons (stick and knife) as well as against attacks using firearms at close range are also included, as well as lessons concerning locking, throwing, striking and kicking techniques. This book will not only allow every Jiu-Jitsuka to consequently prepare him/herself effectively for a grading test, it will also provide the trainer with a comprehensive reference book. There are more than a thousand step by step photographs.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very well done,
This review is from: Jiu-Jitsu: Training (Paperback)
I saw this book at Borders and as soon as I got home I ordered it. As a karate practicioner of many years I can highly recommend "Jiu-Jitsu Training" to both the beginner and the experienced martial artist who wants to expand his knowledge. The book is well illustrated and all the techniques are easy to understand. There is no space wasted on history or warm up exercises, just page after page of useful defenses against armed and unarmed attack.
As 99% of the technigues are performed while standing, you need to also buy Braun's excellent "Grappling effective groundwork" to learn the ground fighting aspect of this form of Jiu-Jitsu. The experienced martial arts practitioner will want to include other books in his library, but for the beginner these two books will get you well on the way to learning how to defend yourself. I haven't read Braun's "Jiu-Jitsu Basics" but if it's the same high quality as the other books it should be very useful to the novice.

This review is from: Jiu-Jitsu: Training (Paperback)
Ok, so I just got the book, but I have to say that I am a bit confused.
First of all, there are several headers in the book which are followed by no content, but just by the next header. Is the missing content discussed in the introductory book? If so, that should at least be explained somewhere! Also, some headers are not in the correct order. And, some of the techniques should be described by a few more pictures. Hopefully I will like the book more after trying out some of the stuff ...
