This review is from: Vital Leglocks: 65 leglocks for jujitsu, judo, sambo and mixed martial arts (Paperback)

This book is written by a man with extensive knowledge of several Martial Arts. It is designed to be used as a text book with an Instructor and has suceeded in this. It is a very well done manual and well worth being an addition to any Martial Artists library.
I am a fourth degree black belt in Judo and a third degree black belt in JiuJitsu.

This review is from: Vital Leglocks: 65 leglocks for jujitsu, judo, sambo and mixed martial arts (Paperback)

The pictures are a dark black and white. The steps are not that clear and many of the leglocks are similar. I would not say this book is much better than the Gracie books which show the same basic leg locks and have much better color pictures.
