Title: Excellent book for self defence
Review: If you are a practicioner of Brazillian JJ, this book is not for you.But if you intend to pick up a few new ideas on how to prevent yourself from ending up on the ground in the first place, or defending yourself with some unconventional techniques, read on.Most of us who learn self defence do not want to roll around on the ground amongst the gravel and broken glass to defend ourselves against an attacker. This, along with the threat of multiple attackers,are weaknesses of the Brazillian JJ system.None the less, Brazillian JJ should be studied because defending yourself on the ground is very important, and for this it is very good.There are many other styles out there though, and Mr. Tedeschi shows some great escapes, counters and take downs which Martial Artists with an open mind, and not restricted by a "my style is the best" philosophy should appreciate.
