ZEN JIU JITSU - KINDLE BUNDLE VERSION Zen Jiu Jitsu - 30 Day Protocol Zen Jiu Jitsu - White to Blue Zen Jiu Jitsu - Over 40

🚀 Il #libro in 3 Frasi

Technique conquers all' to quote the BJJ phenom Caio Terra.

Consistency is the message. Avoiding injuries, learning and most of all enjoying yourself while you are doing it.

This is scientific jiu jitsu, this is the style of jiu jitsu that makes the game so interesting to people in their forties, fifties and sixties. It's more mental than physical while still combing both.

The thirty day protocol seems like a bit of a gimmick and the 1000% improvement makes for good advertising copy I guess.

In truth, what I took away was the need to train with intent always. This isn’t earth shattering advice, and it isn’t the first time I’ve heard it, but it’s valuable.

Like anything, take what is useful and discard what isn’t so I wouldn’t say that this quick read is wasted time. It is just unlikely to be truly transformative.

This could have used some heavy duty editing for grammar, organization and … math. But there is some thought provoking stuff in here. It has prompted me to try some changes in my BJJ path so it was worth reading. I just feel it could have been better with a good editor and perhaps a few dozen rewrites.

[Cedric · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick and simple. Not much new material for me. Some may find the tips, advice, and method new, useful, and insightful. Worth a few dollars if you're in between longer reads.

I liked this book. Its basically the telling of an older Jiujitsu practitioner. While is not wholey instructive, it does give some tips for success and longevity in the sport. It is worth the read.

[Alexander · Rating 4 out of 5]

A structured, focused protocol to deliberately improve one's BJJ game. Much of the advice is common sense, all of it practical.

[Ryan · Rating 4 out of 5]

A simple and straight forward approach.

For those looking for a step by step guide to training and drill jiu jitsu, check out this book. Will this plan work for everyone? Probably not, but it is a great starting point with plenty of take a ways.

[Nelson Candelario jr. · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a good book and worth the read if you are beginning Jiu Jitsu. It gives excellent advice and things to consider to help you progress. However, much of it is literally word for word from his other books. I was a bit disappointed by this. It conveyed that this book may be a bit unnecessary if you have read any of the other books in the zen series.

[Mark · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good content, horrible grammar. The writing style is fine, but the spelling and grammar (lack thereof) made it difficult to understand. Plus, the author confesses that 1000% in the title was really just a typo; he meant 100%.

[Mark · Rating 3 out of 5]

As far as I can tell, this is the same book as the 30-day program. There are other books by the same author, but there is no book that is merely “Zen Jiu Jitsu.” Each book has a different subtitle. They are as follows:
* Zen Jiu Jitsu - 30 Day Protocol
* Zen Jiu Jitsu - White to Blue
* Zen Jiu Jitsu - Over 40

Each of these titles have similar content and some repetition, but they stay consistent with the theme of their respective subtitles. Please note that there is not much (nothing) about Zen in these books.
