Brazilian Jujutsu Side-Mount Techniques

A pioneer of Brazilian jujutsu in the United States, Joe Moreira has played a major role in educating American martial artists about the subtleties and intricacies of his art. He was the first to organize international Brazilian jujutsu tournaments and in so doing helped launch the careers of many of today's well-known fighters. In this 149-page book, Moreira illustrates his in-depth knowledge with more than 100 techniques through photographic sequences and detailed captions. His "sequential teaching" style outlines how each move sets up a network of possibilities for the combatant in the side-mount position. Above all, Moreira's guide underscores the priority in Brazilian jujutsu of technique before strength. Includes handy appendices for finishing moves and technique applications.
