Here are some thoughts from readers

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.

Phenomenal manual for No-Gi Jiu Jitsu.

As a person who enjoys jiu-jitsu and books, Modern Submission Grappling: A No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu Manual by Miha Perhavec is an outstanding resource. The material is detailed and practical, aimed at helping grapplers at all levels refine their skills in no-gi submission grappling. Drawing on Perhavec's extensive experience as a double black belt in both judo and jiu-jitsu, this book emphasizes key techniques and strategies tailored to modern submission grappling. The wide variety of techniques and terminology presented enables practitioners to gain a deep understanding of the art while seamlessly integrating the techniques.

Probably the best book on no-gi jiu jitsu you can buy

This book is basically a bible on high-percentage moves in BJJ. If you're like me, and your goal is to improve as quickly and reliably as possible, this is for you. I love that Miha focuses on the key positions you're most likely to encounter and gives you a variety of options from them, along with pros and cons of each. To me, this is much better than the traditional way BJJ is taught: A little bit of everything thrown at you all at once. If you want to take full responsibility for your training and progress in the sport, buy this book. The video course is also well worth the investment--I hit several of the moves from it in both gi and no-gi competition recently.

A practical guide

The framework in this book is excellent—clear, organized, and easy to follow. Miha does a great job illustrating different techniques in a way that makes them accessible, even for someone new to the sport. As a novice jiu jitsu practitioner, I found this to be a valuable tool in helping me understand not just the movements, but the why behind them. Highly recommend for anyone starting out or looking to strengthen their fundamentals in no-gi.

Great read for grapplers

Great book, the videos are helpful as well. The book is well written and does a great job covering technique in depth making it easy to understand and enjoyable to read.

Great Book

As a new jiu jitsu practitioner, this book helped from day 1. Basic concepts, when applied on the mat worked effectively, though admittedly trial and error is necessary. I’m only half-way done and already know I’ll be going back for re-reads for a while. The free video manual is a nice touch as well. If you’re new or intermediate in jiu jitsu, it’s worth the $
