Japan's Ultimate Martial Art: Jujitsu Before 1882 the Classical Japanese Art of Self-Defense
by Darrell Max Craig
This book discusses classical Japanese jiu-jitsu, presenting the history of the art as it can best be reconstructed, along with many illustrations and discussions of the techniques. Just as with the approximately 200-300 schools of swordsmanship that existed between 1000 A.D. and the mid-1800's, when they went into decline (with only about 15 surviving today), there were many styles also of jiu-jitsu, often associated with a particular martial art tradition that included training in the yari (spear), naginata (halberd), the bow, and various other weapons, but most importantly, the sword, as in the famous Kashima-Shinryu style that Karl Friday has capably discussed in his scholarly book, Legacies of the Sword.
Here Craig attempts to do the same thing for jiu-jitsu and I think succeeds very well. Except for articles in various martial arts journals, there is no book accessible to the general reader that deals with this important topic. Overall, a fine book with much valuable information that should be of interest to martial artists with an interest in the old school or koryu Japanese arts.

Mastering Jujitsu (Mastering Martial Arts Series)
by Renzo Gracie, John Danaher
In recent years, the grappling arts have proven to be the most effective form of combat in mixed martial arts (MMA) and no-holds-barred (NHB) competitions. Above all others, the Gracie brand of Brazilian jujitsu has become recognized as the preeminent fighting style in unarmed combat. Now Renzo Gracie—one of the most successful athletes in the world-renowned Gracie family—reveals the inner workings of the art.
With nearly 30 years of training, Gracie competes at the highest levels and is a champion of numerous grappling, MMA, and NHB events. Also an instructor of many students who have gone on to become champions, Gracie now provides that instruction to help you develop the same techniques and strategies that the Gracie clan has used to dominate their opponents. In Mastering Jujitsu, Gracie covers it all in depth—from the art’s origins and techniques to practical applications that even the most experienced black belts will benefit from. Starting with isolated skill development techniques, you will progress to a full set of tactics and fight plans and become familiar with the concept of combat phases. You will learn how to attack from any phase as well as how to react to your opponent. Whether you’re in a bottom position or attacking from the top, Gracie reveals the key strategies designed to give you the upper hand in close combat fighting.
One of the most successful and active members of the world-famous Gracie clan, Renzo Gracie has spent almost 30 years training in Brazilian jujitsu. Competing at the highest levels of mixed martial arts (MMA), grappling, and no-holds-barred (NHB) events, he has won the Brazilian jujitsu national title twice, the World Combat Championships (MMA event), and the martial arts reality series superfight. He is also a two-time winner of the world submission grappling championship (held annually in Abu Dhabi) and a multiple winner in Japan’s premier MMA venue, PRIDE.

Self-Defense Nerve Centers and Pressure Points for Karate, Jujitsu and Atemi-Waza
by Bruce Tegner
This is a book that describes all the vulnerable areas of the human body and how to hit them. Knowing your attacker's weak spots is just as important as knowing how to properly strike them. This is a book all martial artists should have in their library, but it isn't just for them only. This is a book that every person has to own.
The reason why this book is so great is that it is meant and written for the average person like you and me to understand. It talks about all the major weaknesses of the body and all the physical effects that will occur when hit with strikes of differing force. ITS GREAT.
The book is also loaded with a plethora of pictures and maps showing all the body's natural vulnerable areas.
Bruce Tegner is an excellent author. Mr. Tegner explains in detail the legal definition of what self-defense is and what it is not. He did a ton of reseach to make this book. For example, he debunks all the mythical "deadly blows" and he talks about how television shows and Hollywood have heavily distorted what actual self-defense is. This will seriously educate anyone about what real self-defense is.
