i have the renzo and royler book. great detail and information!

I agree, the theory section is great. The book does a great job of explaining what BJJ is all about. It was honestly a difficult transition for me when i first started. I was so used to the rigid customs of the Japanese arts. When you walk into a BJJ academy everything is so casual. It took me a while to come to grips that, while they pay homage to the Japanese who brought them the art, it is pretty much an art that is Brazilian in custom and many if not most of it's techniques were created there.

I kind of like the casual, laid back approach that the Gracies have.

I love it. After 21 years of strictness, it's a great change.

i have learned most of my ground stuff from trial and error. but when i got that it improved my technique and the theory i have towards ju jitsu so much stronger
