Jiu-Jitsu University — Saulo Ribeiro (with Kevin Howell)

A belt-by-belt roadmap that emphasizes survival before offense. Ribeiro organizes the art into phases—survival, guard, passing, and finishing—with hundreds of photo sequences and coaching cues that stress posture, structure, and risk management at each rank.
It’s widely treated as a curriculum in book form, equally valuable for coaches creating lesson plans and students refining fundamentals.
