Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
We were interested in publishing this work for a variety of reasons. There appeared to be a dearth of quality grappling books on the market and little attention has been paid to no-gi submission fighting. We were also excited with the format of "Submission Fighting Techniques" which was very to the point and up front. With the combination of the large amount of submission techniques offered in the book, the readable format and the low retail price, we feel there is a lot of value for the interested gappler. We know that the customer will be happy with this detailed work.
From the Author
The motivation for writing "Submission Fighting Techniques" came from my own desire to be a better jiu-jitsu fighter and grappler. I was serious about training and wanted to learn all I could about submission holds. However, a search of the available literature was disappointing. Many works were over priced and had very few true techniques. Almost all the books I read spent 25%-40% of their pages describing the history of the writer or their respective art. Many of the books I read spent a great deal of effort in describing how to work out or make a fist. Personally, I do not want a history lesson or to learn how great the writer is or how to do push ups. I want submission holds!
As a result, I created a work for other grapplers who were were looking for submission techniques, at a low price, and with bang for their buck. I had been practicing judo/jiu-jitsu for some eight years and felt that, with some intellegent analysis and creativity, I could produce a quality work. So now you have it "Submission Fighting Techniques". There is no history of the formation of the art, no stories about how good I am, and no advice on how to lift weights for grappling. There is no fluff, just 250 techniques for submitting your opponent. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The absolute best out there!,
By "daylin00" (Whiteville NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Submission Fighting Techniques (Paperback)
Most books are all hype. I have read several books that promised to teach you submission, yet droned on about this and that. This book delivers exactly what it says. There are not pages wasted on anything. ... This book delivers the highest quality of submision techniques I have seen in books yet. If you want a good book on practical offensive no gi submisions this is that book. This book is better than Gene Lebells, Robert Furgsons, and evens the Gracies books. With that aside you might want to pick up winning wrestling moves, and a book on grappling defense.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An essential primer on submission fighting!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Submission Fighting Techniques (Paperback)
For those with an interest in the martial arts, Iverson's book is an excellent reference on offensive, no gi submission techniques. The text is extensively illustrated, with the moves simply and sequentially explained. It has been said that when fighting, the best defense is a good offense. With practice, the reader will be able to apply the techniques Iverson demonstrates in this easy-to-use book to the maximum effect.

5.0 out of 5 stars
it does what it says on the cover!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Submission Fighting Techniques (Paperback)
I have had many grappling books in my time(Lebell,Gracies,etc) but i must say that this is among one of the best. The book is purely no-gi submission techniques and it can't be faulted for not being a complete book on fighting techniques. It does what it says on the cover. The book covers submissions from all the grappling positions-north/south, guard, mount, knee on stomach, standing etc, etc. at the start of each chapter it covers how to maintain that position. Then the rest of the chapter covers numerous effective moves to submit your opponent. This book is all meat and no fluff. The total number of pages without fighting techniques on them is about 5! If your like me you have been burned by buying crap books that are not what they claim to be. This book is not one of them. It is a good sized book and very reasonably priced. Even more advanced fighters could learn alot from this book. Having trained around the world i wish i would have had this book a while ago.
