I have been studying jiu-jitsu for over 36 years and during that time I have
seen it rise from obscurity to great prominence in the Martial Arts. When I
first began my training, there were only a handful of jiu-jitsu students in my
hometown of Alexandria, LA, and even after 5 years when I left for college
there were still only a handful. I started the first jiu-jitsu club at LSU and it
grew to about 40 students before I left. Then I moved around LA, and Texas
and started a few schools and trained a few hundred students. I was the first
jiu-jitsu teacher in Dallas, TX.
It is an amazing thing to see the expression on someone’s face the first time
you bend their wrist, or lock their arm out. When they are just watching
from the side, they think that the student who is having their wrist bent is
just faking it, until they get to experience first hand the debilitating power of
the wrist lock, and the absolute control it gives the teacher over the student.
You see to really appreciate the power and beauty of jiu-jitsu you have to
really have a few locks and hold put on you.
In the last 5 years with the advent of the UFC and the great jiu-jitsu fighters
from Brazil and now America. Everyone in the martial arts knows and
understands the power of jiu-jitsu and finally everyone, and I mean everyone
is using some jiu-jitsu techniques in their teaching. Everything from throws
to wrist locks, to hold downs and joint locks.
In this book you will learn all the basics of a true jiu-jitsu system. You will
not learn any KICKS or any PUNCHES. Because real jiu-jitsu doesn’t really
have them. You will learn throws, wrist locks, hold downs, escapes and
chokes. Because real jiu-jitsu does have them.
The best way to practice the moves is to look at the pictures and try to
understand the move in your mind, before you actually practice the move
with a student or partner. Make sure you understand what it is you are trying
to do before you start to do it. It is much more productive to have a plan of
action firmly in your mind before you try to do it on the floor.

Jiu-Jitsu Push Ups
Start by arching the back up very hand and then coming thru and up with a curve in the back.
Now as you come thru do a push up by leaning and pushing on the right side and
then leaning and pushing off the left side. Then back to the starting position.

Jiu-jitsu Leg Strengthening Exercise
This is an important exercise because in most of the jiu-jitsu throws you need a lot of leg strength and this
exercise will greatly help develop your leg strength.
Start by standing straight up and holding the arms out infront of the body. Now slowly drop down on one
leg and keep the other leg out straight in front of the body. You might need to practice by holding on to a
chair for support or your partners arm. Go all the way down until your heel touches your but, then back up.
Do this 5 to 10 times on each side.
