Helio Gracie:
This is a legandary man, wish I could have met him. If one wants to get to the roots of Jiu-Jitsu Gracie style, this book is it. I enjoyed the history of Helio in the beginning.
1st BJJ book purchased:
Having been practicing BJJ for the past few months I thought this might help out. Could not have made a better purchase. The instructions are clear, the photos detailed and the moves specific. I can recommend this to anyone interested, whether it's just for review, or for some serious study!
Great book.:
This book is not intended to replace videos or rolling to improve your Jiu-Jitsu. However, this book is must for any Gracie Jiu-Jitsu practioner or Helio Gracie admirer. Numerous color photos of the late great Helio Gracie in his 90's performing hundreds of moves on son Rorion. Also included are some vintage black & white photos of Helio competing in the 1930's. Excellent color photography by Thomas DeSoto. Buy it.
