The 32 Principles

Summary

Jiu-jitsu is more than a martial art; it is a lifestyle that promotes health, confidence, self-determination, and balance. Famed jiu-jitsu instructor Rener Gracie presents the core teachings of jiu-jitsu and explains how they can apply to all of our daily lives, including:



● The Pyramid Principle: the importance of investing in a strong foundation



● The Acceptance Principle: recognizing when it's better to yield than to resist



● The Pivot Principle: the value of changing your perspective to increase your effectiveness



● The Redirection Principle: using unfavorable circumstances to create favorable outcomes



Intended for both longtime fans and practitioners of jiu-jitsu as well as those completely unfamiliar with martial arts, The 32 Principles will help you take control of your personal and professional pursuits, supercharge your entrepreneurial spirit, and balance your relationships at work and at home.



Along with multi-award–winning author Paul Volponi, this book features contributions from more than 40 champion athletes, topflight coaches, and others who have benefited from the everyday life applications of these timeless jiu-jitsu principles.
