Book or DVD Recommendations

[thaistyle]

Does anyone know of a good book or dvd that can help sharpen a person's submission wrestling/BJJ skills. There isn't a gym close anywhere to train but I do train with some guys that have judo and some wrestling/grappling background and my submissions/judo is a little rusty. Any help you guys could provide would be beneficial.

Anything Roy Harris sells http://royharris.com/

Anything Michael Jen sells http://jenbjj.com/

That should give you a good start.

The best book on the market in my opinion is :
Brazilian Jiujitsu Theory and Technique by Royler and Renzo Gracie.

http://www.amazon.com/Brazilian-Jiu-Jitsu-Technique-Renzo-Gracie/dp/1931229082

There are so many other one's out there but this one is a good one particularly from where you are starting from.

I would however urge you to seek out proper instruction whether at a Training Hall, Private lesson or Seminar. To many things are missed and cannot be corrected by training on your own.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the input. About 9 years ago I trained at a MMA gym (Lion's Den) and the owner trained under Ken Shamrock and his asst. instructor had a black belt in BJJ. I moved after training there for about a year. Since then, the place has sold and those guys are no longer there. I like to work on ground technique whenever I get the chance, so that is why I was asking. Thanks again for the help.
