Advocating for an integrated, nonpartisan approach to the art of grappling, this handbook focuses completely on the fundamental defensive concepts and principles of mixed martial arts, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and submission fighting. Submission techniques are demonstrated in complementary positions—including mount, guard, side control, and back control—but learning how to avoid them is highlighted as an equally valuable skill. Penned by a world renowned martial artist, this guide is ideal for grapplers from any background or skill level.
