Are you ever at a jiu jitsu tournament and you hear your opponent's coach SCREAMING in Portuguese? GET THIS BOOK and learn what the coach is saying! I love immersing myself in the language of martial arts....Portuguese for BJJ, Japanese for judo...The book is very informative, easy to follow, and if your master or Profesor is from Brazil....you will grin ear to ear when you finally know what a word means he has been saying for 10 years!#hespect

This book is an incredible resource on common phrases that you'll hear while training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) across the globe! You won't find this information in a standard Portuguese(Brazilian)-English dictionary. Absolutely priceless! Thanks Deborah!
