bushido_man96 Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) These are the titles I have on Brazilian Martial Arts:Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Theory and Technique Renzo Gracie, Royler GracieBrazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt Techniques Jean Jacques Machado, Kid PeligroBrazilian Jiu-Jitsu Self-Defense Techniques Royce Gracie, Charles Gracie, Kid PeligroI enjoyed each of these titles very much. I have read through each of them, and although I have no experience with BJJ, these books provide very good explanations and demonstrations of the moves, in a basic manner. I believe that they provide a great reference to the art of BJJ, and you can't really argue with the pedigree of the authors!I highly recommend them.Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Gracie Submission EssentialsHelio Gracie, Royler GracieThe Little Capoeira BookNestor Capoeira Edited January 9, 2008 by bushido_man96 https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com

gamedweeb Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I'd consider the "Infinite Insights into Kenpo" series by Ed Parker key in any collection. Check the kenponet.com mall if you're interested. "I'd rather have 10 techniques that work for me than 100 techniques that work against me." -Ed Parker

bushido_man96 Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Secrets of the Samurai The Martial Arts of Feudal Japan by Adele Westbrook, Oscar RattiI finished this book not too long ago, and I rather enjoyed it. It is kind of like a history lesson in the martial styles of feudal Japan. It covered many different aspects of the martial arts, and their relations to different social classes of Japan as well (not just the bushi class, either).It described various methods of weapon combat, including spear, sword, fan, bo, and such. Different schools of Jiujitsu were discussed as well, along with Karate and Sumo.It also delved into the various aspects as to why the warrior class adopted Zen and Buddhist beliefs to fit into their fighting methods.Overall, I enjoyed the book, and it was very informative. It even made use of the occasional MA anecdote, and is illustrated with some nice drawings, although I don't think they lend much to the reading itself, aside from breaking up the pages and saving the eyes a bit.Overall, a good read. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
