INTRODUCTION

This book is not a replacement for a qualified instructor. This book does not contain all of the moves that
make up the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Only the core moves from each position are shown.
This E-book is intended to give readers a sample of certain areas within Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, The Master
Text and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Basics. As you read, you will notice that pages have been taken from different
sections and are put together (re-arranged) in this E-book in an order according to the title of the E-book, not
the order of the book the pages originally came from.
After reading this text, you may purchase another E-book from us or purchase the book itself. There is so
much material in The Master Text that even if you purchase all of our online E-books, you will still not have
all the material in the original text itself. Some text and content has been left out in this file due to the fact
that it is on one subject area and is acting as an overview.
Enjoy this material and thank you for your patronage and support.
"From a technical perspective, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, The Master Text, by Gene "Aranha" Simco, is the best book
about the popular grappling art I've seen to date."- -- Lito Angeles, Black Belt Magazine (6/2002)
What really sets this book apart from any other grappling book on the market is the fact that it really represents
where mixed martial arts is today. It explains Jiu-jitsu grappling and its different styles better then any
other book on the market." - 5 Stars

technique and also good pictures. You are just making easy for people to learn."
