Yeah, submissions 101 can be a bit hefty on advanced techniques. That is unless you know a specific technique and want to learn it. I go around YouTube and I take videos form here and there. A few Ken Primola videos are good (kenprimo) for picking up basics. Mario Sperry covers basics too.

They're good to watch, but you get much better instruction being shown by an expert, who will go through finer details and perfecting techniques which you won't get watching DVD's.Originally Posted by Paulg
It's not that they're 'advanced', it's that they're often flat out wrong and generally incomplete when they're not.
Good on-line resources are Aesopian's blog, everything Stephan Kesting does (though his marketing has got a bit intense recently, his free stuff is still awesome).
My personal favourite books are Renzo's Mastering JiuJitsu (good on basic theory and gameplan) and the Ed Beneville ones for specific technique.
Failing that you could just go out and randomly pick fights with people you don't like the look of.
Sure, such behaviour would make you a cunt, but it's all about getting the practice in.
Hi, I reside in Hounslow and interested in training. I would like to know where can I train as a newbie in and around West London. Please, advise needed, thanks.
I said advanced as a lot of it is rubber guard based, and I'm not flexible enough to do that stuff! I haven't looked through them all to see whether or not they're wrong, but I'll take your word for it.
I've seen the Renzo Gracie book in Waterstones, but I bought the BJ Penn book instead, because it's BJ Penn!
I think London Shootfighters is in West London now.
