Modern Submission Grappling: A No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu Manual

Miha Perhavec’s Modern Submission Grappling: A No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu Manual is a fantastic resource for practitioners of all levels. The book is well-structured, breaking down complex no-gi techniques into clear, easy-to-follow steps with hundreds of high-quality images. Miha’s expertise as a double black belt shines through, offering practical insights into key positions and submissions, from leg entanglements to finishing mechanics. His engaging, witty writing makes learning enjoyable, and the accompanying free video content is a great bonus. Perfect for beginners and seasoned grapplers alike, this manual has noticeably improved my game. Highly recommend

Just recently started BJJ but this book helps tremendously!

If you're hesitant on purchasing this book, go and listen to Jocko's podcast with the author, Miha. Within the first half-hour, any concerns you had on the quality of this book would disappear. Miha is a well spoken, educated and intelligent person who's expertise is evident throughout the book. His ability to break down complex techniques into easy-to-follow steps is impressive. What truly sets this manual apart, though, is his engaging writing style. Not only is the content top-notch, but Miha also infuses the guide with quick-witted humor. To attest to his sense of dry and short humor, he recently addressed any potential CJI judging complaints by stating, “If you have complaints about my judging, I would love to hear them. To send one, buy my best-selling book, tear out the first page, write down your complaints and send it to me. If you have multiple complaints, I'd love to hear them. Buy another copy of the book and repeat the cycle until you hear back from me...” This cheeky comment is a great example of the type of wit Miha provides and makes the learning experience all the more enjoyable. I am one of those butt scooters who had some concerns about the -80kg finals match and took this obviously sarcastic comment to heart. Due to so much frustration, this will be my fourth time buying the book! The high quality of the paper and print makes it very easy to take notes, tear out, fold, and mail it to Legion! So far I have yet to get a response, but I hear Miha is already so busy with inquiries on seminars, how to be an expert judge, and even working on another book. Maybe I'll just have to attend his next seminar to air my complaints.

Muy bueno.

Perfect when you want to lookup some technique or just want to browse among the techniques. It has nice colored pictures. For me it would feel a bit boring to read the book cover to cover. Sometimes its a bit hard to follow along what happens just by looking at the pictures, but if I’m not mistaken there are video tutorials available. The book was well worth the money!
