Title: This a good book
Review: It is a little short by today's standards. This really was the first vale tudo manual written in English. All techniques are shown without a gi. These techniques can still be used today. Good pics even though they are B&W. It has a good cross section of basic techniques. Goes well with Carvalho's own series 2, Sperry VT 1 or De La Riva VT series. Carvalho's style is a little more like DLR because he is a smaller guy. 46 techniques/series clearly illustrated. There isn't a whole lot of theory, its pure technique.
