BJJ Self Defence by Royce & Charles Gracie
Brazilian jiu-jitsu has turned the martial arts world upside down by emphasising real-life situations and results over the dramatic kicks and throws of formal competition, making it also one of the most effective self-defence techniques for non-athletes. This guide to the self-defence techniques taught in the classes of Royce Gracie, one of the biggest figures in the world of jiu-jitsu, provides lessons that anyone -- regardless of strength or size -- can learn to neutralise an attacker in seconds. It offers a variety of defences to use against knife and gun attacks, as well as escapes from headlocks, choke holds, and other situations that attackers use on the street.
Advice on practising, falling and rolling, and following a specific diet make this book the next best thing to taking the classes that are popular with the United States military, police academies, and women's self-defence schools.
