My name is Stephan Kesting: I am a jiu-jitsu black belt and have been doing martial arts for over 26 years. This latest book by Joe Moreira and Ed Beneville is one of my very favorite books in my martial arts library, which includes hundreds and hundreds of other books. The book is very clearly laid out, very logical in it's progression, and very complete in the topics it addresses. Most important though, there are many techniques, details and strategies that will be immediately useful to the grappler the very next time he steps on the mat. It helped me and it will help you.
Take care
Stephan
_____________________________
This is the third in a series that Mr. Ed Beneville has written on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
This latest book is probably one of the best books on the guard that one can read and study.
For those of you who are interested in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Sambo, or the grappling arts this is a must book for your martial arts library. It is full of valuable information, knowledge, and techniques, that will help you in your quest for being a better jiujitsuka, judoka, samboist or wrestler.
The book itself is very will made and it is a work of art. Besides being a beautiful book, it is full of action photos that are easy to understand.
This author who has been in the martial arts over a half a century highly recommends it.

_____________________________This third book in the series builds on the strengths of the first two. While the casual observer of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu may be dazzled by the flash of flying arm-bars and triangles, the technician is drawn in by the fine details of the ground game - positioning, base, control. Joe and Ed have produced another book that will improve your understanding of the ground game considerably. Having had these techniques applied to me by these guys and their training partners,and having used them myself, for over ten years I know they work. Brute force and speed can only take a player so far. The techniques in this book bring out the finesse and beauty of BJJ. Collect all three books, study, and then train hard.
