Marc Wickert
Saulo
Ribeiro became a six-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion and a
two-time Abu Dhabi Combat Club champion under the tutorage of Royler
Gracie. Of Ribeiro, Royler says, “Without a doubt, Saulo is the
best black belt I ever graduated in these 24 years of teaching!”
Jiu-Jitsu
University
sums
up Saulo Ribeiro’s offering perfectly: It’s more of a correspondence
course than just a book. Saulo takes his readers/students on a
journey from white belt through to black belt, explaining the
significance of each grading under his expert tuition.
Word
of recommendation: When you purchase a copy of Jiu-Jitsu University,
be sure to start reading from the beginning and don’t flick through
pages. Saulo Ribeiro is not a man to waste words, so every
sentence is important.
What
makes Ribeiro’s book stand out is that his BJJ is thorough and a
complete grappling system rather than just a collection of submission
techniques. “Most instructors do not spend enough time talking
about the importance of keeping the position and defeating your
opponent’s defense. I see submissions as the result of certain
situations where you are in a completely advantageous position and you
can choose the proper way to make your opponent give up,” says Ribeiro.
Royce
Gracie used Gracie Jiu-Jitsu to dominate the early UFCs and no fighting
system featured more strongly than BJJ at UFC 91. Saulo Ribeiro is
a grappling grand wizard, and Jiu-Jitsu University leaves no
thunderstone unturned. Here is an opportunity to study Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with the best and know that your training in BJJ is second to none.
