This book discusses the struggles and importance of Carlos Gracie Jr. and the IBJJF in giving jiu-jitsu structure, shape, and professional credibility at a time where it was under threat of becoming simply another fad. The Rise and Evolution of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu also discusses the greatest challenges the art faces today, as its popularity carries with it problems that threaten to fragment precisely some of the qualities that set jiu-jitsu apart from other martial arts to begin with.

Another winner about the history of BJJ!
Revisado: 09-05-23
This is another great book about the history of BJJ from author Robert Drysdale! I thoroughly enjoyed learning about this history of Carlson Gracie and I hope there are many more books like this to come!

What are the origins of Brazilian jiujitsu? Is it merely a by-product—a rebel offspring—of judo? What was the nature and content of the art that Mitsuyo Maeda, a.k.a. “Count Koma”, and other Japanese were teaching in the Amazon? Was it judo? Jiujitsu? His own personal fight-tested style, built on a foundation of judo and informed by his dozens and dozens of matches around the world? What was the bridge between the art he learned at the Kodokan and the Brazilian style--a style now practiced by millions worldwide and growing bigger every day--that claims him as its godfather?

It’s basically a snub to the Gracie’s

Great history lesson on the origins of BJJ
Revisado: 06-11-23
I thoroughly enjoyed this work by Professor Robert Drysdale. This book is not a slight against the Gracie family. In fact the book gives interviews with several members of the Gracie family to get their perspective on the origins of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to understand the true origins of BJJ.

The final audiobook in the acclaimed Duskwalker trilogy. Wren is living in Greenstone under the temporary care of Charles and Mol and the protection of Chapel. Unable to determine the fate of his mother and those he left behind in Morningside, Wren believes there is nothing left to do but wait for Asher's final blow...until a man named Haiku walks into the Samurai McGann, looking for Three.
