Summary: Very instructive
Comment: I belive this a very instructional book. An image for each move in each technic. Lots of arms, legs and choke technics.Also, lots of tips. Its a litle short on take downs and counter attacks. Anyways, very good book. A must have if your a serius practitioner of BJJ.

Summary: Save Your Money
Comment: Like other reviews have stated, this book was a HUGE disappointment. The pictures are of poor quality and the descriptions are worthless. The way this book is setup it's impossible to capture any of the details of the moves. As anyone who has studied BJJ knows, the details are key.
I wish I could get my money back for this garbage.

Summary: Warning: Not for beginners!
Comment: This book assumes that you already know the basic mechanics of BJJ and therefore, it jumps right into the techniques. This books could be used more as a reference to someone who has BEEN learning BJJ for sometime. This book is definitely not for the beginner. The explainations are very vague. A beginner would most likely execute the techniques improperly if not supplementing this book with an actual BJJ course. I would not recommend this for a beginner nor an advanced student.

Summary: Best bang for your buck, where submissions are concerned.
Comment: Though the book is kind of small, it does have probably the greatest variety of submissions for the least amount of space. Most of the book is devoted to submissions with a gi, but there is a chapter on non-gi hooks. The book is organized, chapter-wise, into the part of the body the hold works (legs, chokes, arms). It's not as detailed as other works, and covers only submission holds (instead of throws, strikes, possitions, reversals), and in that, I think the title is misleading. But if you're going to be using a gi with your submissions, go ahead and pick up this book.

Summary: leg locks
Comment: It has not nice pictures like Gracies' books but some useful techniques which are absent in their books, so it can complement them. In addition, the face of Machado may give you an inspiration for practicing harder, it is like seen Arnold Schwarzenegger and Franco Colombus developping their muscles in some basement without proper lighting, old jeans etc.
