The 32 Principles: Harnessing the Power of Jiu-Jitsu to Succeed in Business, Relationships, and Life — Rener Gracie & Paul Volponi

Rener distills recurring grappling concepts—frames, wedges, weight distribution, connection—into broadly applicable principles. Each chapter pairs a jiu-jitsu lesson with real-world scenarios, aiming to translate mat problem-solving into daily decision-making and leadership.

It reads like a bridge between BJJ pedagogy and personal development, with anecdotes from the Gracie University teaching archive.
