Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu: Revolutionizing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Overall, I found this to be an excellent addition to any grapplers library. I think BJJ needs to have more emphasis on the standup portion of the game and this book certainly helps fill the void. The pictures were clear, easily understood as was the text. Both participants wore different colour uniforms so it was easy to differentiate them (a problem when everyone wears a white gi). I had given this book 4 stars but as I read it again and again my opinion keeps going up. Excellent book worthy of 5 stars!

First off, let me note that I have grappled all my life. I was an All-American in collegiate wrestling, earned a black belt from the Kodokan in Japan, and I have trained in BJJ with dozens of the top instructors in the US. No one, and I mean no one, teaches grappling like Dave Camarillo. From BJ Penn to top UFC and PRIDE fighters, those in the know go to David when they want to combine throws/takedowns with submission. Dave has finally put together a book detailing his unique combination of judo and BJJ, and the teaching is crystal clear. Unlike most books that read like a random combination of techniques, his presentation is logical and allows the student to retain and use his principles from day one. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. One class with Dave is like 10 with anyone else, and this book is like having him as your personal trainer. Buy it before your competition does!
