Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis
Jiu-Jitsu on the Brain is a little book about Brazilian jiu-jitsu. It’s not a grab-the-lapel-with-your-left-hand kind of book. There are no techniques in it; it’s not an instructional text. Those books already exist, and some of the most brilliant masters of jiu-jitsu have written them. This is a book about the everyday jiu-jitsu, the lessons that we learn on and off the mat, lessons we absorb from not only our professors, but also our peers, lessons about BJJ and life.
Section Titles include:
Alligator Arms
Cooking Your Opponent: A Recipe for Meathead Soup
Jiu-Jitsu as Mistress
If the Bone is Poking Through the Skin, it’s Broken
Wipe your Bum
Technique: The Great Equalizer
An Expensive Gi will not Improve your Jiu-Jitsu
There is no Dim Mak
Technique Freaks
