Rigan Machado's book "The Essence of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu" is considered by many to be an informative book that contains all the basic skills of the squatters. The following is a review of what is covered.
Rigan started the book in a question and answer section that cleverly addressed some important topics, such as Gi and No Gi training, and the different methods involved. An interesting key point is to control the entire area of the opponent's body without gi, and you need to control the gi of a particular point. His philosophy also involves training in sports and self-defense.
The second chapter discusses various armlocks from basic to more advanced. He excelled in breaking them and showing the specific details involved. Basic armlocks from guards, landscapes and mounts as well as standing armlocks and flying armbar.
The third chapter focuses on the leg lock. There are even some rare sentences and some changes in the position of the knee rod from the outside, the inside, the half guard and the north and south. Foot locks from the inside of the shroud or even the bottom are also very interesting and rare. Also shows a series of heel hooks and their settings. At the end of this chapter, more advanced content is sent directly to the knee stick.
The fourth chapter discusses the theme of the choke. It first introduces some of the details of the nuances and then goes directly to the techniques in the previous chapters. Although most of the chokes shown have gi, there are still a number of gi chokes shown as basic models, rear bare chokes, triangles and rear triangles. If you are looking for a gi choke, then this book is a great resource. Covers all necessary gi chokes, including clock chokes.
Chapter 5 is my personal favorite chapter because it is dedicated to No Gi technology. This is a technique that is specifically designed for opponents who don't wear gi. This chapter describes various techniques; chokes, leg and arm locks. The specific details of setting up and controlling the opponent without gi are given, and the sequence of photos is again well depicted.
In general, this book is a great resource for those who have been trained at Jiujitsu and need visual training aids to remember the key points of different actions. Beginners who are looking for a good introduction to cuddles and those who just want to check it out will find this book very useful. More advanced practitioners will not learn any new knowledge here, but will find it has key points for reference manuals and submissions. The only real problem missing is that the key points involved in the position are not covered in more detail. In addition to this, the book is still strongly recommended for the above purposes.
