The highly acclaimed Science of Jiu-Jitsu by current ADCC Under 87 KG Champion and U.F.C. fighter Demian Maia is revolutionizing BJJ Instructionals. Here is a brief descritpion:

"The Science of Jiu-Jitsu is the amazing next step in the evolution of Jiu-Jitsu instructional DVDs. Demian Maia, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and ADCC Champion, blows the roof off traditional instructional methods by revealing how the concepts of leverage and body mechanics can be used to gain an incredible advantage over your opponents.

By exposing these overlooked and long forgotten concepts, Science of Jiu-Jitsu will make you re-think your current grappling game and give you a completely new outlook on the art of Jiu-Jitsu. Once learned, the unique thing about these principles is that you will be able to use them from all positions in Jiu-Jitsu. This will give you a whole new set of grappling tools that you can pull from at all times to gain more strength and better positioning. As Demian teaches each submission, counter, escape and more, he exposes were these hidden techniques exist and how to use them with maximum effectiveness. "
