Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu: Revolutionizing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Dave Camarillo provides an excellent bridge between Judo and Jiu-Jitsu in this innovative instruction manual. This isn't your traditional, "My take on jiu jitsu" book - it shares insights of the few practioners to reach world class levels in both Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. As such, it has more Gi standup material than most books, and successfully integrates the Judo throws into submissions from transition. Camarillo also shows "flying" attacks, integrating submissions to the stand-up game. He's uniquely qualified to present these integrations.

Positives noted, this book isn't for everyone. It isn't aimed at detailing basics and fundamentals - there are much better books out there that specialize in jiu jitsu 101. It's also not encyclopedic. There are other books that do a better job cataloguing all the moves out there. That said, Camarillo certainly has enough knowledge to put out a sequel or two. I hope he has time to write them.

Guerilla Jiu-Jitsu beautifully weaves together Dave's judo experience, his jiu-jitsu experience, his political philosophy, and his new, integrated grappling system. This isn't just a cutting-edge instructional book; it's also the fascinating story of the birth of a new art and the development of the mind that produced it. If you're serious about your grappling game, you have to have this book.

Guerilla Jiu Jitsu is the perfect combination of Judo and Jiu Jitsu. It's agressive, high flying, technical approach is a refreshing and exciting way to look at grappling. The results are evident, with the fighters Dave trains winning at a non stop pace in events such as the UFC and Strikeforce. A must have book for grapplers.

being an avid Judo player im always looking for new technique, when i was introduced to mma and Brazilian jiu jitsu, I started it, having heard previous rumors, hoping for a leg up on ground technique, 3 years later, here I am practicing both but being unable to put them together, in jiu jitsu i would never land judo throws, in judo never an armbar from guard, but then i read this book. This book incorporatyes judo basic , and explains there uses and effectiveness, aswell as scenarios to apply them, it shows Jiu jitsu techniques, and how to use them in judo, (a la flying attacks) then incorporates them into one , practically unbeatable art.

Dave Camarillo is known for his amazing flying attacks in both BJJ and Judo competitions and is not only a black belt in both arts but an active competitor and excellent instructor. He's one of those rare coaches with a knack for explaining something thats pretty technical in such a way that it makes sense to everyone.
The main strength of this book is introducing BJJ players to some solid Gi-based stand-up techniques and principles (although he does also relate them to no-gi as well). Theres an excellent section on grips and grip fighting, something realy neglected in a lot of BJJ schools, a collection of solid throws, combos, follow ups and counters and then of course an intro to some of Mr.Camarillo's flying techniques.
An excellent book both in content and quality by Victory Books.
