Zen Jiu Jitsu is more a rendition of concepts than techniques. This is the simplest and easiest way to break down and simplify the many and varied ideas, philosophies and combinations in the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu arsenal. For both competition jiu jitsu and self defense jiu jitsu most white belts need to fully understand the concepts, but it can be VERY confusing!

Are you stuck? Struggle. That's the word that comes to mind when I think about the transition from blue belt to purple belt. For reasons that I can't quite work out, when I came to the later stages of being a blue belt I felt confused and lost in my game. Trying to put all the pieces together seemed like a task too far and quitting looked like an option, after all, most guys my age are hitting the golf course or surfing not rolling on the floor with sweat soaked people.

Love it!
As a recent convert to MMA from wrestling I wanted to delve into the practice without making any initial novice mistakes. After purchasing and listening this book, I was able to achieve the insight necessary to not only find the right trainer, but also choose the area of expertise that I was looking for. From formatting a proper training plan and attending your first class to valid philosophical advice, this guide was the perfect primer for me. Also, the writing is to the point and instructive without discussing unnecessary things. I enjoyed that because the author makes sure to cover all the points necessary without wasting the listener’s time with extras that are unnecessary.

Fighting on the inside is a great way
Fighting on the inside is a great way for the shorter fighter to gain an advantage. Staying on the inside away for the taller man's reach staying in a better range for you. Often fighters who like to fight on the inside will have many tricks and techniques they like to use. I have seen boxers grab the back of the head with one arm while throwing hooks and uppercuts with the opposite arm. I have also seen fighters disguise elbows as hooks. In most IBJJF competitions, patches placed in certain areas are illegal, but in many other small competitions, it is perfectly legal.
