Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has turned the martial arts world upside
down by emphasizing real-life situations and results over
the dramatic kicks and throws of formal competition, making
it also one of the most effective self-defense techniques
for non-athletes. This guide to the self-defense techniques
taught in the classes of Royce Gracie, one of the biggest
figures in the world of Jiu-Jitsu, provides lessons that anyone-regardless
of strength or size-can learn to neutralize an attacker in
seconds. It offers a variety of defenses to use against knife
and gun attacks, as well as escapes from headlocks, choke
holds, and other situations that attackers use on the street.
Advice on practicing, falling and rolling, and following a
specific diet make this book the next best thing to taking
the classes that are popular with the United States military,
police academies, and women's self-defense schools.
