I was a 3 time city champ wrestler in H.S. I know plenty about the sport. However, I don't recommend this book as a manual to learn how to wrestle in the street. The moves are far too advanced for someone to actually pull them off in a real fight. Especially against someone really determined to kick your ass and who won't follow the "rules". The author repeats himself over and over, going back to topics in previous chapters etc. He just keeps praising himself as if he were a great fighter. "Ohh, in my days as a streetfighter this and that" Overall the book is somewhat disorganized and looks like if a 5th grader wrote it as a book report about wresling. I gave the book 2 stars because he gives pretty good advice about weight training. You will make better use of your hard earned cash taking a Ju-jiutsu book or course.
