Frequently Asked Questions
General
The No-Gi Manual lives in two iterations:
-
As a best-selling book titled Modern Submission Grappling: A No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu Manual. It is written by Miha Perhavec and published by Jocko Willink's JockoPublishing. It is available for purchase on Amazon. It comes with video-recorded demonstrations of techniques, which are available here.
-
The No-Gi Video Manual, which is 10-hour instructional video course, recorded by Miha and flanked with many bonuses, like MindMaps, extra courses and more.
The book is for practitioners of all levels, as well as non-practitioners. Those who don't train in submission grappling, will get a good understanding of what it is and perhaps build up the courage to go try it.
Beginners will benefit GREATLY by having the foundations laid out for them with clear instructions on which techniques and areas of no-gi to improve first.
Intermediate practitioners will find new details to make the basics more easily applicable and find answers to their biggest weaknesses.
Experts will find ways to provide structure for their students and help shaping their curriculums.
