Overview

This book is a collection of what I've learned after doing this for close to 15 years. I guarantee it will save you time, money and energy. More importantly, it will help you improve your jiu-jitsu.

80% of Jiu-Jitsu matches are composed of situations from the guard. Getting to that next level in Grappling or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not always easy. You need combinations, transitions, and set ups to establish a great bottom game. This book will make your BJJ game even better and bring you to the level you have dreamed of by giving you the knowledge to perform at your best. Knowledge is power and without someone guiding you down the road who has been there, you may take many extra wasted years to figure things out.

This book is Part 1 of a two part series on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Sweeps. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and Pan Am Champion Ken Primola walks you through 50 sweeps in great detail. This book has over 150 pages of detailed technique and commentary. The first volume includes efficient sweeps from the closed guard, the Carlson Gracie Guard, the cross guard (made famous by Robson Moura and Cobrinha), the hook/lasso/legweave guard, the quarter guard, the sitting guard, and the butterfly guard. This book is taught with the Gi on but many of the sweeps are applicable both Gi and No Gi. Don't wait, get this before your opponent does.
