New book

MrPoopy · 12-13-2002, 11:15 PM

First, there is no new book I have to talk about. But I'm thinking about trying to talk my instructor into helping me produce a small book.

I know there are getting to be more than a few books available on BJJ, but the problem is they are all pretty expensive. A lot of them show a great number of techniques, but few of them show a great amount of detail for each technique.

If I can talk him into it, the book will be all about detail on the most commonly used techniques. Probly no more than 50 or so pages, but it will sell very cheap. I would guess no more than 5 dollars.

It would be more geared towards beginners, but would anyone here be interested in an inexpensive book that could possibly improve their existing techniques?

That sounds like a great idea. $5 plus shipping right?

5 dollars plus shipping. But shipping wouldn't be very much.

50 pages, softbound at Kinko's with pictures and descriptions. Step by step instructions with key points to look for that make the techniques actually work.

and it won't have photographs. It'll have drawings instead. Here's a link to a page with a sample pic.

I think it's pretty high contrast this way. Easy to see what's going on. Of course, pics in the book will have a lot more detail so you can see exactly what's happening.
