has anyone had a chance to read this book looks interesting.copied and paste a review from someone on it.

Softcover, BIG book. There is a brief introduction, stating Galvao's history in the sport, how to use the book; etc; etc. I will try to divulge as little information as possible, but even if you don't want to read a couple paragraphs, I will say that I HIGHLY recommend this book.

It follows a 12 month course, there is a section on diet, stretching, strength and agility drills (solo and partner). Each section, for example, "Month Two: Strength Matters...Balance Does Too" is broken down into weeks, then into days, focusing on a couple of drills a day. The pictures of each drill (showing the sequence of each drill) are clear and concise, I don't see how it could be done better without video. Each drill is accompanied by an ample amount of text, giving you an idea why you are doing the drill and how to actually do the drill as well situations where the drill is useful, sprinkled with anecdotes of how Galvao came upon the move. Each drill is accompanied by a suggested frequency to do the drill, for example "5-10 minutes" or "3 sets of 12-20". Each section is followed with a review for that month.

This book covers pretty much ALL bases, from stretches, rolls, wrestling takedowns, judo takedowns, grip fighting, escapes of all kinds, passes of all kinds, side, knee on belly, mount, back drills, guards, guard maintenance, guard movement, etc, etc.


One of the best BJJ books I have read, useful for ALL skill levels, and even if you don't follow his daily recommendations (which would take less than 30 minutes a day), there is something useful for EVERYONE in this book.

10/10
