More About This Book

Overview

"Grappling for Newbies" tells you what you absolutely need to know before you search and sign up at a grappling school and what you need to know afterwards. This book also lets you know things about training, instructors and academies that no one ever talks about (ever) or definitely wouldn't share with a new grappler.

This book puts you in the know:

Learn how to avoid the Revenge Tap

How to approach grappling with the opposite sex

What's a loyalty promotion?

Does Gi color matter?

Why the Gi is your best friend

How to avoid being thrown in with the 'sharks'

Avoiding pressure

Ways to improve outside of class

Why beginners are the most dangerous people in grappling

"Grappling for Newbies" also includes the innovative BJJ comic strip "Mouthguard!"
