kimura_guy Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 I am a begining jiu jitsu student. I was wondering what would be the best book(s), to purchase to "supplement" my training at home. Im not only interested in technique books, but books on history also. I wanna learn everything I can about jiu jitsu. Thanks in advance for the help.

Rich67 Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Amazon.com has many. The best I have seen were the ones written by the Gracies and Kid Peligro. Good illustrations and detailed info. Mixed Martial Artist
tufrthanu Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Well if you are interest in sport ju jitsu there are tons of books at the store. If you are interested in the self defense kind however there is a really good book by Prof. Wally Jay entitled Small-Circle Ju Jitsu. Long Live the Fighters!
kimura_guy Posted December 12, 2004 Author Posted December 12, 2004 I think Im more into the self defense jiu jitsu. Thanks yall for the replies. It's better to be judged by 12, than carried by 6.
Master Jules Posted December 21, 2004 Posted December 21, 2004 Yeah.....Ill hafta second the motion.....Professor Wally Jay's book on small circle Jujitsu is fantastic, and if you ever have a chance to go to one of his seminars....do so....he is amazing.....Ive trained with him almost every year when hes in my area for the last 10-12 years.....he is really incredible, and his system is amazingly effective ~Master Jules......aka "The Sandman""I may be a trained killer......but Im really a nice guy"
GhostlySykanRyu Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 blackbeltmag.com has Small Cirlce Juijitsui as well...just ordered some technique books from there...Small Circle is next on my list. To condemn the art of another is to condemn your own as well. We all have the same origin.
tufrthanu Posted December 22, 2004 Posted December 22, 2004 Black belt sells Ohara books almost exclusively I beleive which is the publisher for that Wally Jay book I mentioned earlier Jeet. If it's the same small-circle JJ book its very good. It's the one with the red cover. Long Live the Fighters!
