The best way to learn ju-jitsu is to do it. Find someone to roll with and do it every day.

Listen to bar Room. Don't even try to learn JJ from tapes.
If you want to box... go to a boxing school.
If you want to study JJ... take a class.

Hey there, nothing beats training on the mat, but having tapes and books does help alot also. THe best books i have seen are by Machado Black John Will. He has a basic book, Guard, and Reversals and submissions, As far as tapes go, the Mario Sperry ones are the best, His Vale Tudo tapes are great and so are his sport JJ ones. If you want Pm me ive seen alot of the tapes on the market and maybe can help you with what your looking for.

hey babyface, i'm in rio de janeiro right now and have been for 4 months i have come before for 3 months so i have trained with the best in a place where there are jiujitsu schools all over, i am looking at the pedro carvalho tape series on bjj 1-8, i mean they are still on my shelf i don't use them anymore, i think they were useful to some extent, the best book out , and it just came out, is by renzo gracie and royler gracie, it absolutely beats em all hands down, terrific.
BUT i have found that with a few minor exceptions i forget everything on the tapes unless i do at least 100 reps or so: in rio right now i take private classes because they are really cheap and you get it from great black belts some of whom speak english, i speak decent portuguese, i never, never forget what i learn in private classes and i think they are a great way to get some of the basics.
take some private classes when you are starting out, even from a purple belt, get a deal on a package. good luck
