From the Publisher
The founder of Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu, Dave Camarillo took over UFC Champion Frank Shamrock’s position as head grappling coach at the American Kickboxing Academy (AKA). He shares his wealth of knowledge in Judo and Jiu-Jitsu at AKA, one of the top gyms in the world, and he coaches professional UFC fighters such as Paul Buenetello, Trevor Prangley, John Fitch, Mike Swick, and Josh Koscheck from the Ultimate Fighter show on Spike TV. He also coaches Pride Fighters Josh Thompson and Phil Baroni.

David Camarillo received his black belt in jiu-jitsu from Ralph Gracie. He also trained under World Judo Champion and four time Olympic medalist Mike Swain. After Camarillo’s terrorizing victories in both the lightweight and open classes at the RG American Jiu-Jitsu Association tournament, Rickson Gracie presented Camarillo with the prestigious award of ‘Most Technical American Jiu-Jitsu Fighter.’ In Judo, Camarillo was Ranked #2 in the nation in 2000.

Jiu Jitsu/Judo cross-art innovations
Dave Camarillo provides an excellent bridge between Judo and Jiu-Jitsu in this innovative instruction manual. This isn't your traditional, "My take on jiu jitsu" book - it shares insights of the few practioners to reach world class levels in both Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. As such, it has more Gi standup material than most books, and successfully integrates the Judo throws into submissions from transition. Camarillo also shows "flying" attacks, integrating submissions to the stand-up game. He's uniquely qualified to present these integrations.

Positives noted, this book isn't for everyone. It isn't aimed at detailing basics and fundamentals - there are much better books out there that specialize in jiu jitsu 101. It's also not encyclopedic. There are other books that do a better job cataloguing all the moves out there. That said, Camarillo certainly has enough knowledge to put out a sequel or two. I hope he has time to write them.

The book that put me ahead in Gi Grappling.
being an avid Judo player im always looking for new technique, when i was introduced to mma and Brazilian jiu jitsu, I started it, having heard previous rumors, hoping for a leg up on ground technique, 3 years later, here I am practicing both but being unable to put them together, in jiu jitsu i would never land judo throws, in judo never an armbar from guard, but then i read this book. This book incorporatyes judo basic , and explains there uses and effectiveness, aswell as scenarios to apply them, it shows Jiu jitsu techniques, and how to use them in judo, (a la flying attacks) then incorporates them into one , practically unbeatable art.

This is THE BEST gi grappling book on the market, bar none
First off, let me note that I have grappled all my life. I was an All-American in collegiate wrestling, earned a black belt from the Kodokan in Japan, and I have trained in BJJ with dozens of the top instructors in the US. No one, and I mean no one, teaches grappling like Dave Camarillo. From BJ Penn to top UFC and PRIDE fighters, those in the know go to David when they want to combine throws/takedowns with submission. Dave has finally put together a book detailing his unique combination of judo and BJJ, and the teaching is crystal clear. Unlike most books that read like a random combination of techniques, his presentation is logical and allows the student to retain and use his principles from day one. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. One class with Dave is like 10 with anyone else, and this book is like having him as your personal trainer. Buy it before your competition does!
