Description of  From the Ground Up: The Jiu-Jitsu Survival Guide for Beginning Students

So, you're a new student to a traditional Gracie or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school and you don't quite know how the system works. You might be grappling already and are getting totally rolled up by your fellow students. You might have even become injured already and frazzled because you dont know what to expect next. Your spouse might even want you to quit already. Its a dog eat dog world at some schools where the strong survive and the weak leave. Let third degree black belt Professor Keith Owen guide you through the mental, physical, emotional and yes, even political aspects of starting Jiu-Jitsu at a new school. In this book you will uncover the wisdom gleaned from twenty-six years of training in Jiu-Jitsu on how to stay a student, advance up the belt ranks and most importantly not get injured at your new endeavor.
