The same qualities that make Brazilian jiu-jitsu the most efficient of martial arts make it the greatest self-defense technique ever devised. Now Royce Gracie, the most famous jiu-jitsu figure in the United States, presents in book from the same self-defense techniques he teaches in his classes, which are popular with the U.S. military, police academies, and women's self-defense schools alike. Using these lessons, anyone - regardless of strength or size - can learn to neutralize an attacker in seconds. The book offers a variety of defenses to use against knife and gun attacks as well as escapes from head locks, choke holds, and other situations you are likely to encounter on the street. All end with the attack defused and you in complete control of the situation. Advice on practicing, on falling and rolling, and on the importance of the basics - along with a special photo section showing Royce and Charles in their most triumphant moments - make Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Self-Defense Techniques the next best thing to taking classes with the masters.
