Jiu-jitsu University By Saulo Ribeiro: Verified

This is genius. Saulo argues that a white belt’s job isn't to tap out blue belts—it’s to survive long enough to become a blue belt. By the time you reach the submission section at the back of the book, you've already built the foundation to actually catch those submissions against a resisting opponent.

Saulo argues that if you attempt a submission without positional dominance, you are gambling. He focuses on high-percentage attacks: the cross choke from mount, the armbar from technical mount, and the bow-and-arrow choke from the back. jiu-jitsu university by saulo ribeiro
