No Holds Barred Fighting: The Ultimate Guide to Submission Wrestling

[rogue]

Picked this little gem by Mark Hatmaker up. For $12 it goes over most of the techniques and terms that have always made me scratch my head when grapplers talk. Finally got to see what a ****zer is. Even has 3 techniques for getting out of a back ride rear naked choke. That's two more than I knew before. I'll have to leave it to the grapplers here to say if the things in the book are quality or BS but to me they seemed pretty good. And for 12 bucks it was worth it.

Thorough, but hardly groundbreaking or essential. I'd have paid $12 for it; I decided against paying $20. The short look I took at it indicated it was more a catalog of moves than something that would actually teach you how to do something. Probably most useful as a reference or overview for someone just starting in grappling, or a dabbler. Anyone making a serious study of submission grappling would be better served by something less broad, more deep. IMO, YMMV, void where prohibited.

Definately not exhaustive but for $12 it makes a nice intro for non-grapplers.
