“How To Do Jiu Jitsu For Beginners” is oriented toward teaching basic jiu-jitsu techniques for self-defense. The book shows the user how to control stand up aspects of a fight as well as ground aspects. Over 200 photos are combined with step-by-step instructions to illustrate effective application of jiu-jitsu moves.

From a standing perspective, the e-book will explain how to keep the distance in a fight as well as what type of takedowns an attacker may employ.

The jiu-jitsu text is broken down into the 7 distinct sections below:

1. Takedowns, takedown defense, and movement – this will relay movement, some basic takedowns, and how to defend against them.

2. Standing in guard – this will detail basic defense against an opponent who pushes or knocks you to the ground yet stays standing.

3. Escapes – this will show how to move from a submissive position to a dominant position on the ground by using basic escapes.

4. Sweeps – similar to the Escapes section, this will detail how to move from a submissive position to a dominant position using basic sweeps.

5. Attacks from guard – closed guard is one of the greatest defensive and offensive positions for a person on their back. This section will offer a few key attacks and chains for defending off your back.

6. Attacks from mount – this will show you how to control and attack from the top mount once you have achieved it.

7. Putting it together – this section will show you how to chain some of these movements together.
