Overview

American Ju-Jitsu Association co-founder and jujitsu pioneer George Kirby takes the next step forward with his new book Jujitsu Figure-4 Locks: Submission Holds of the Gentle Art. As a continuation of his series from Black Belt Books, the well-respected martial artist continues to document his jujitsu evolution and experience for readers of all skill levels. Having explored techniques thoroughly, Kirby now focuses on the essential principles of Jujitsu's most effective trapping techniques: the figure-4 lock and its variations.

Jujitsu Figure-4 Locks features:

Detailed photo sequences, comprehensive captions and illustrations.

Meticulous but engaging prose that clearly explains the techniques.

Key technical Information that is accessible and useful to beginning and advanced grapplers.

Fundamental Figure-4 lock characteristics as well as variations from multiple positions.

Like the other books in Kirby's lifelong study on jujitsu, such as Advanced Jujitsu: The Science Behind the Gentle Art and Jujitsu Nerve Techniques: The Invisible Weapon of Self-Defense, this book is an excellent reference, insightful learning resource and a fascinating study of a key element to successful grappling.
