I was looking at BJJ Theory and Technique from Royler and Renzo, and it is massive. Has a ton of great color pictures, a ton of techniques, and cool background and theory. Are there any books that come close to being this complete?
Complete in terms of covering all positions? Or complete in covering a specified area. The Passing the Guard book by www.grapplearts.net is as complete a book I have ever seen on Passing. It has some escapes as well but it is packed with info. Rigan's Triangle book is pretty complete in terms of that move. If you want all the positions, take a look at Rigans encyclopedia, it's huge. www.greenwhaleproductions.com
Try and of the books by John B Will. http://www.bjj.com.au/shop.htm I have most of them. They are clear, easy to follow, have good technique from beginner to advanced, have helpful tips along the way. They are very good value.
I have it. Although it is interesting, and only cost about 15 bux, I can only see myself using about 10% of the moves in it. It is not a complete BJJ book. I would call it supplemental at best.
Um, did you READ the book? Not a single viable kneeling guard pass. That book is horrendously INcomplete. I reccomend "For Experts Only". Covers NHB, BJJ and sub grappling. Covers basics and more advanced stuff.
I glanced over it for about 10 minutes. I think it does a good job over covering the basics, and not anything advanced. I haven't seen too many BJJ books, just looked on Amazon and the limted selection at BandN. This book seemed to be what I was after. Something that would supplement a noobie and give me tips for a lot of the moves I am practicing in class. I found about 20 techniques that we have covered, and it gave me some good tips. I am all for other recommendations though.
In a sense it did. The one which you try to stand and hooking undr his leg pass. If u strictly want a kneeling pass..well.. is there any done while throughout you are kneeling?
From the Cesar Gracie camp, "The Techniques of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu" by Montanha 572 pages, the Guard pass chapter has 50 guard passes... http://bjjbook.com/Content.html Most Complete BJJ Book?............I think so........Nick Diaz wrties a review on it also, he has used it.
