What delighted readers are saying

Based on 154 book reader reviews

High quality paper, binding, photos and writing!

If you're hesitant on purchasing this book, go and listen to Jocko's podcast with the author, Miha. Within the first half-hour, any concerns you had on the quality of this book would disappear. Miha is a well spoken, educated and intelligent person who's expertise is evident throughout the book. His ability to break down complex techniques into easy-to-follow steps is impressive. What truly sets this manual apart, though, is his engaging writing style.

A must read for anyone interested in jiu jitsu

Miha’s No-Gi Manual is an amazing resource for students of any skill level. The concepts are explained in a very clear and concise manner, and the picture sequences are extremely helpful as well. As someone who is new to jiu jitsu, this is not the first guide book I have bought, but it is definitely the best.

Great Illustrations + Video + Knowledgeable Teacher = AWESOME Book!

This is a great book that covers all the important elements of your no-gi game, from offense to defense, and how to counter each type when you find yourself in it. For something as physical as jiujitsu, good pictures with progressions are a MUST if you're going to understand what to do, and this book delivers on that very well! Pictures are plentiful, with about 3 or so provided for each move to help you see the progressions, and to top it off, they're also accompanied by free online videos that let you see the moves in action. When you combine the two, what you end up is a really polished product that helps you learn faster than any other book I've come across.

Well worth the purchase

I listened to Miha on the Jocko podcast and thought I would buy his book. Within the first day of receiving it I had already found techniques that I could work into my game and by the next class I was drilling them and executing them with ease. It's not because I'm an incredible student or have raw talent, it's because the book is written well and it's easy to understand and implement. Each technique I incorporated worked, which is the most important part when someone's trying to gain a dominant position.
