Product Description

This array of bottom-fighting strategies is specifically designed to not only protect practitioners from being hit in any situation, but also to help them defeat bigger, stronger opponents. Exclusively focusing on the bottom game—a position in which most fighters feel vulnerable—this resource teaches students of jiu-jitsu and mixed–martial arts fighting how to develop hidden strengths and exploit the advantages of this seemingly weak position. With details and important information never before shown outside the Gracie family, the authors explore the techniques, tactics, and mindset necessary to win when fighting from the bottom—whether in an official sports jiu-jitsu competition or simply sparring with a partner.

Important Information5
This is a sport jiu-jitsu book;which means about one in every four techniques can be used in mma competition.
I try to only buy sport bjj books when they are written by a former UFC/Pride champion.
This book is for the total begginner.
It's broken down as follows;
1)Rear Mount techniques-10 moves.
2)Mount techniques-20 moves.
3)Side Control techniques-22 moves.
4)Guard techniques-68 moves.
Overall,this is an excellent book as Royce also links moves together.

Great book to increase your grappling skills5
This is another great book by Royce Gracie. Unlike some other books written by the Gracie family this book focuses on knowledge and technique to be good at grappling and not just on strength. The book is full of hundreds of great techniques that really work quite well. I go to jujitsu class every day with a new technique and I keep frustrating my fellow classmates with my new knowledge. This book, and Royce's first book, are a must have for anyone that wants to increase their skill in grappling without having to hit the gym five days a week in the hopes of being strong enough to using some "fancy looking" move. On a scale of 10, I would give this book a 9.5!

Great encyclopedia of techniques5
This book follows the pattern of the first volume. It is a great reference tool for the bottom position. About the second half of the book are moves from the guard while the first half is a mix of the other bottom positions. Its a great book!
