The Experts Agree ...
"Gene Simco is one of the most Technical Jiu-jitsu instructors on the East Coast. His students are a testement to that." - Brian Cimmins, Grapplers Quest Tournament Director
"I've been training bjj for 35 years and Gene's book is one of the best books in the market. I strongly advise everybody that practise jiu jitsu to buy it."
-- Romero "Jacare´" Cavalcanti (founder of Alliance Jiu-jitsu and one of 5 Rolls Gracie Black Belts)
"I am an old man and a martial arts grandmaster and I thought I knew a lot. I am physically disabled but I practice that which I can practice and even someone with physical infirmities like me can easily learn these straight forward common sense techniques that I somehow missed along the learning trail. But little did I realize how little I really knew until I read the 162 page book BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU BASICS. This is without a doubt the Cadillac, the Rembrandt, the Leonardo De Vinci, the Bruce Lee of jiu jitsu books at the lower belt level." Professor Kenneth L. Haugland

Okay, I wanted to get more fundamentals learned in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). So I decided to pick up this book. It has great photos for instruction. You can follow them pretty easily. The dvd is a sample dvd. It's pretty good when it comes to showing you the technique. But in no way is it a complete basics dvd. You'd have to go to a dojo and put on a kimono and roll. But this book and it's author/instructor Gene Simco does a great job in explaining. People get caught up sometimes in this art and ... Read More

I thought the techniques that were shown were good. The ground techniques were very good and would give you a pretty solid ground game. The standing techniques were also good but is missing alot. The book description says there are takedown defense which there are none, it also says Escapes from chokes, grabs, bear hugs, locks, and clinches there is 1 rear choke escape 1 bear hug escape from behind over the arms and no clinch escapes. So all it really needs is guillotine defense, front and back, over ... Read More

This is a very poorly written book; for example, a sentence on page 63 says: "Once my opponent's leg is passed, I will shift my body toward my opponent's head in order to secure a better hold." Revising it yields: Once my opponent's leg is passed, I shift my body toward his head securing a better hold. Mr Simco repeatedly uses a passive voice and unnecessarily repeats subject phrases when simple pronouns will work; the cumulative effect of so many dead words is a very cluttered book that would have ...

I really was interested in this book b/c it comes with a DVD. I don't understand moves very well just looking at pictures. Unfortunately, a lot of the moves in the book are not on the DVD included. He shows how to do a takedown from the clinch, and a few other things but I can't remember.
Also be aware that there is a lot of controversy regarding the legitimacy of this guy, check any MMA or BJJ forum. Nothing personal against the guy, but I haven't read anything positive about him ... Read More

The book is ok, but there's nothing there that you wouldn't learn in the first couple months of training. So, if your just starting out it's useful.
