Eddie Bravo's new book came out (not in stores yet bt I preorederd back in April so I got mine yesterday) and I sat down and read it cover to cover in one big sitting.

If you are familiar with his Mastering the Rubber Guard book this will have a very similar feel to it.

The intro is a sad story of his childhood but very incitefull into who he is as a person. He admits to a lot of stuff that I would not be comfortable sharing but it is interesting to read.

The technique section of the book is broken into 6 major sections; twister side control, the truck, the monkey mount, the back, the sprawl and transitioning to the twister.

There is a lot more than I thought possible. His rubber guard is what gets noticed and it works very well, this may just be even better. He does a great job of breaking down his entire top game and shows if X doesn't work go to Y. It is done brillaintly. The pics are all in color and shown form a couple of angles.

The people at Victory Belt have raised the bar on instructional books. If you don't have a copy of this on order I suggest that you go to victorybelt.com and order one. While you're there pick up Mastering the Rubber Guard if you don't have that as well. By far the best isntructionals I have ever seen.
 
Can't wait for my order to arrive. Ordered both his books, Randy's book, BJ's book and awaiting Eddie's DVDs.

Gonna order Marcelo's book too closer to release date.
 
I've got mine pre-ordered through Amazon. Be interested to hear what other people have to say about it though.
 
the twister is a pretty easy move to get, in wrestling that is. i've pinned a couple people with the guillotine, thats what we called the twister in wrestling, hurts like hell.
 
In the new book he shows all kindsof ways to get into the twister. As well he shows a bunch of very painfull calf cranks (I went to his seminar and prior to that had dismissed them as nothing to worry about-big mistake they hurt bad!!!)
 
I assume that there will be a Mastering the Twister DVD series also. I ordered the Mastering the Rubber Guard Book & DVD & currently only own the Mastering the Twister Book. I can't wait for the Mastering the Twister DVD. Also those other books from victorybelt.com, are they all huge books like the 2 Eddie Bravo books, what I mean by that, are the size of the books really big?
