MARCELO GARCIA—considered by many to be the best pound-for-pound Brazilian jiu-jitsu fighter in the world—has proven time and again that his unique style of grappling is one of the most effective forms of Brazilian jiu-jitsu in existence. In Advanced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Marcelo unveils the system of techniques that allowed him to conquer the world of BJJ. As a five-time BJJ World Champion and a four-time ADCC Submission Grappling World Champion, Marcelo has shown that his style of fighting translates to both gi and no-gi competitions, making his system a must for all who train in the grappling arts.

Through detailed narrative and more than 2,000 step-by-step color photographs, Marcelo breaks down the arm drag, methods for taking and sustaining back control, finishes from the back, and a plethora of takedowns and guard passes. Leaving no stone unturned, he also sheds new light on the guillotine choke and omoplata submissions.

To avoid watering down the pages with redundant transitions and submissions that are well known and widely taught in jiu-jitsu schools across the globe, Marcelo only covers the techniques that are unique to his system. Unlike a lot of jiu-jitsu systems, which include techniques that are limited in range and application, each submission covered in this technical manual is practical and guaranteed to work on opponents both large and small. Having competed in the Absolute Open Weight Division his entire life, Marcelo discarded the techniques that didnÆt work on larger, stronger opponents. What you are left with is a highly effective and efficient system of grappling that works for and on everyone. Let Advanced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu elevate your grappling game to the next level.

I write books about martial arts and about marketing. As a kid, I never really fit in, and I used to think that was my greatest weakness. Now, as an author, content marketing consultant, and business owner, I realize that not fitting in is actually my greatest strength. As a result, most of my work has an underdog theme that celebrates going against the grain and doing something different.

Thorough, Specific Techniques and Philosophy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 7, 2013

Disclaimer, I've finished my second year of training jiu jitsu. I'm not sure what "advance" entails but I got the book anyway. I wouldn't recommend this book for total beginners since it assumes you are familiar with all the basic positions, submissions and terms - for that material I would recommend Saulo Ribeiro's Jiu Jitsu University. But if you are familiar with all that, have a few months under your belt, go for it. What this book does, in my opinion, is to go in-depth with submissions that Marcelo feels works well for him and TAKE DOWNS!

When I purchased this book, I had some familiarity with standing game as a wrestler at our club regularly taught us the basics of wrestling. Still, during live rolls, I was still wary of going for the single or double leg shot - if I failed, I was in for hard times. I did not feel comfortable shooting without the repetition wrestlers get in month after month. I was looking for some material to supplement my standing game for the BJJer. This book was it.

Highly recommended for BJJers who want to improve their standing game - Marcelo goes over most of the good stuff wrestlers have been doing since they were born, but maybe news to BJJers. His section on arm drags was a game changer for me. If you get it right, you're on his back already - wow. Passing the guard is for suckers.

As noted elsewhere, Marcelo only goes over a few techniques but he goes into the details and variations, a mind map of his aggressive game. The prefaces of each chapter are nicely written and enjoyable in of themselves, elaborating on his fighting philosophy and reasoning behind his method and technique choices.

unrivaled manual that WILL improve your game

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 13, 2013

i have done wrestling/judo for about ten years or so and started jiu jitsu a few years ago, now have my purple belt. of course i know most of the basics and some of the sexy moves that are low percentage but fun to try. but what this book presents is insight into the mind of whom i consider the best p4p bjj fighter of all time. i say that because he is so small and light and yet has won open divisions in world class tournaments multiple times. a greater feat i think, than someone who is already a heavyweight winning an open division. anyway, the book breaks down marcelo's favorite and highest percentage moves from every angle and gives a description on when to use it, what mistakes to avoid, etc. the only thing that is lacking, and to be fair lacking from all instructional books, is the timing for the moves is not clear. not sure how fast or slow to do some moves unless you see marcelo in mid-air then you have to assume it is done fast!! again this is true for all instructional books, i just wish there was a greater emphasis to point out the speed one should carry out the moves. otherwise great investment, especially starting at the blue belt level. i think as a white belt you need to work on some very very basic movements and positions first and don't try and fill your head with too many submissions just yet.

Great Addition to a Grappler's Library

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 22, 2011

Verified Purchase

Marcelo Garcia,Victory Belt, and Marshal Carper come through again! This book is packed with great photos and techniques, everything you would expect from a VB publication. There are some great features to this book that set it apart from other books in the series, such as well placed helpful hints and references to MGinAction, Marcelo Garcia's website that help to add to the already impressive color photo sets.

The techniques in this book are more of a "complete" game showing the practical innovations Marcelo brings to sport BJJ. The authors have done an excellent job of explaining complex techniques in precise detail to make them effective, useful, and available to every BJJ practitioner. There are pages and pages dedicated to common positions that anyone who spends time on the mats finds themselves in, but with the details that make Marcelo Garcia so great and the proper attention to detail to make it available for every level.

The breakdown in this book is second to none that can truly be used to advance your game to the next level. Each section dedicates so much time and effort into explaining, in excellent detail, extremely useful and functional techniques that are obviously proven in competition. Pick this up today, it will help you from every position, every angle and compliment your game.

Must have for BJJ fighter

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 15, 2012

Verified Purchase

I have many books about BJJ (Brazilian Jiujitsu). If you want a complete book about BJJ technique this book is not suitable for you but if you want to have deep understanding about Marcelo Garcia BJJ technique this book is perfect for you. You never find triangle choke, kimura, knee bar, foot lock, etc in this book but if you are looking for back mount, rear naked choke, guillotine you will have a lot new information.
I am very small person (55 kg and less than 170 cm tall). I am the smallest fighter in my gym until today, but by using rnc and back mount i can submit 70,80 even 95 kg.
My fighting style is very similar to Marcelo, try to get back mount and finish it with RNC. Marcelo didn't use power to submit but he used technique. He was a champion is absolute class several times, so i believe his technique is not just theory.

My conclusion about this book: if you are a fighter want to fight like Marcelo, if you want to master Marcelo style you must have this book.

Outstanding book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

I have loads of martial arts books, including all the manuals by this publisher (Victory Belt) and this stands head and shoulders above the rest.

This book really needs to be read with MG's other book "The X Guard". Whereas that book sets out his bottom game, this book sets out his top / standing game with no techniques from guard.

Although this book features MG wearing a gi on the cover, very little of the technique it contains is gi-specific. So if, like me, you mainly train no gi, it's still useful.

I think the label 'Advanced' is potentially a bit misleading. Doing these techniques well is going to be difficult and take a lot of practise - but that's true of any BJJ technique. But the techniques aren't particularly obscure, esoteric or complicated. Rather, the moves all seem to be high % and reflect scenarios which come up all the time. This book is 'advanced' in the sense that it gives a break down of the strategy or reasoning which underlies each technique, discusses each technique in detail and explains how it fits into MG's competition game - detail which might go over the head of someone who was just starting out in BJJ.

Advanced Jiu Jitsu darf sich zu den besten Jiu Jitsu Büchern einreihen. Die MG Kampf- Strategie ist der rote Faden der den Aufbau des Buches bestimmt. Dabei zeigt MG ein einfaches klares unverspieltes Jiu Jitsu und eben diese Einfachheit gepaart mit der aggressiven Strategieverfolgung scheint das MG Geheimrezept zu sein. Das Buch baut didaktisch durchdacht auf und glänzt mit sehr gutem Bildmaterial und netten Anekdoten.

Das Buch ist für Anfänger welche die Basics noch nicht beherrschen ungeeignet.
