The Tao of Jiu Jitsu

This is an awesome book! If you appreciate Bushido and the way of the samurai, this is absolutely a book worthwhile.And you'll apreciate the art even more, adding more dimensions to the experience. This book will help you DO LIFE, whilst choking MF's out with grace.Honestly, this is the book I would have like to have written. It's THAT good. And I'm not even a writer.Thank you, Matakas! OSSU!

Chris Matakas can be judged to be the philosopher of Jiu Jitsu. His prose and understanding of the spirit of Jiu Jitsu is superb. I could not put his book down and truly enjoyed his insights. I particularly liked his deference to his teachers and team mates. Recommended for all Jiu Jitsu and Jujutsuka.Ben Bergwerf9th Degree Black Belt USJA Jujutsu8th Degree Judo

Brilliant!!! I believe this was the first of his books I read and my favorite of his so far.

I love the simplicity that Chris Matakas writes with, I enjoy his books and hope that he continues to write more

My son enjoyed this book

I found it to be pretty self absorbed

This book is just what was needed. The philosophies in this book and the way things are worded really hit home. It also opened my eyes to new and healthier ways of training and looking st life. I will definitely be reading this book again and encouraging others to read it.

A very well written, direct approach style understanding of fundamental principal concepts not only for Jiu Jitsu and other martial arts, but life in general. Great book Chris!!
