jiu jitsu university


I've been looking too get a new bjj book and really wanted gorilla jiu jitsu by Dave Camarillo's. I've had a look through it and think its looks great very innovative and exciting jiu jitsu which is how I wish my game was. But I have also heard lots of good things about Saulo Ribeiro's jiu jitsu university which covers the basics that everyone needs to know. So based on where my game is at present I think I'll gain more from Saulo's book and I'll just have to wait a little bit before I learn Dave's flying attacks.
I really like the way this book is set out, It has used the belt order and related it too surviving, escaping, guard, passing guard and subs. I like the way that when showing a technique for example escaping back control, it shows you how to do the move Saulo's way, then shows you other ways that you probably already know, but he then explains the dangers and vulnerabilities of these ways and why he does things his way. I found this very useful. I rate this book very highly and along with Renzo and Royler's book these are defiantly the books I'd recommend to those starting out.
