Review # 1 was written on 2013-01-06 00:00:00 Siegel Regis "There is a danger in stalling in a top control position because it is easier for the referee to see that you are not initiating any attacks or new positions. You need to pretend not to stall, and this takes some practice to do effectively." Surprised this book has a whole chapter on how to stall - i.e., cheat - effectively. There's a lot of stuff on stalling, playing points, etc - really? There's some useful stuff in here for sure. At one point he suggests that if you feel too tired to keep fighting you tell yourself, "My opponent is more tired than I am." I use this a bunch and it really helped me. Overall, I'd say this is basically a really great 20 page pamphlet sandwiched into a couple hundred pages of padding.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-01-27 00:00:00 David Labadie Most Brazilian Jiu Jitsu books are composed of a bunch of techniques, and might touch on theory or the author's personal grappling experiences. This book, on the other hand, provides specific instructions for competition training. The techniques are all geared towards competition scenarios such as game plans, stalling, working the point system, etc.
