Looking for grappling art books/website

[tangsoodo]

I am currently enrolled in a Mu duk kwan Tang Soo Do School that I like very much and dont plan to leave, I have been training in tang soo do for 7 months. I can kick high and I am good at all moves besides spinning hook kick, and I would like some realistic background training in a grappling art with good defense techniques. I dont want to enroll in a new school or anything, I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a website or a book with some good defense techniques that you would not learn in a school where you only learn a few basic defense techniques.

or https://www.RoyHarris.com.

Roy harris is more educational and designed for learning, but mario sperry's DVD's are also good and his moves are solid moves to learn.

There are others as well. You can also check out BJJ.org for technique section of the site and see some good moves. Or go to https://www.onthemat.com and go to the video sections they have good free down loads of both Jiu-Jitsu competion, grappling, and Mixed Martial arts video's you can down load for free.

Good Luck!

at barnes and noble and other places they have alot of gappoling books. Jean Jeac Machado's are especially good.

[SubGrappler]

https://www.bjj.org has various amounts of techniques.

I would recommend the book thats written by BOTH Renzo and Royler Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu I think its the best one for beginners out there.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1931229368/qid=1123180182/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_ur_2_1/103-2082369-0355803

i heard good things about these. which one for someone whop has been doing BJJ for two months?

[Adonis]

I am talking about that and also the one about black belt techniques or tournament techniques something like that

both are good.

I would highly reccomend the theory and technique book, as well as CHampionship Techniques. Both are great books with solid foundational techniques...and the PICTURES are great. Full color and very good resolution. Machados book are especially interesting due to his lack of fingers on one hand...he has quite a unique perspective.

I don't learn well from books. Can't stand them! Reminds me of the grappling magazine articles where they have technique demonstrations and you wonder how the transition through some of the postions. THey go for a guard pass break the legs open and then all of a suddenthe next picture they are in side mount. That type of stuff drives me crazy.

IF you want to go for tapes in stead of books go for BJJ 101 by Roy Harris very educational and set up for better learning. Mario Sperry also has some solid DVD's as well as Marcello Garcia and some others.

"Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu MACHADO" by John B Will,

"Advanced Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu MACHADO" by John B Will,

I borrowed these from one of my senior instructors, (at karate, hehehe,) but it taught me more than I was expecting about first contact, ground game, the dominating positions.

Quite basic, but very good.
