| In a follow-up to his popular Championship Sambo: Submission Holds and Groundfighting, Steve Scott teaches you 85 essential armlocks for jujitsu, judo, sambo and mixed martial arts. The armlocks taught in the Armlock Encyclopedia apply to gi and no-gi combat sports, allowing you to use them in a wide variety of situations, including self-defense and street applications. Steve Scott makes it easy to learn the most effective and popular armlocks of modern grappling sports by organizing them into four broad categories: the cross-body armlock, the bent armlock, the straight armlock and the armpit lock. In addition to teaching how to set-up and apply each of the locks, he shows you how to defend against common armlocks, fight from both the mount and guard, lever your opponent’s arm free for an attack and vary your grip for maximum power. For those new to grappling, you’ll also learn the core skills of applying armlocks, controlling position, and training smart plus a glossary of grappling terms and a Rules of the Room guide to common sense rules on the mat. |

 Outstanding Topical Study Guide |
| Review Date: April 14, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Ed, |
| This book cannot cursorily read. It is an in depth study and analysis of the variations on the arm lock. Often arm locks are viewed as a single dimensional move, especially in the MMA dominated environment. Mr. Scott teaches that there are multiple ways into the juji gatame and other arm locks. The focus of the book is to master the fundamental moves, train to recognize when opportunities present themselves from different perspectives, and then execute. If you are looking for a lot of flash, this book isn't for you. If you are a thinking practitioner of martial arts and want to really add some depth to your ground fighting, I highly recommend this book. |

| I was referred to this book by a group of police officers. They discovered Mr. Scott's books because he was a technical consultant for a class on a police control techniques. These officers trust Mr. Scott's expertise to help them go home safely after every shift. These guys don't fight for titles, they fight for their lives! For me this book has become an invaluable part of my groudfighting training. |
Excellent Book!

This book is easily my favorite on the subject. The techniques are high percentage variations of the strongest armlocks anywhere in the martial arts. Clear pictures, excellent descriptions and thoroughly knowledgeable tips combine to create a useful reference for students of any level.
I especially enjoyed the quotation from my Sensei, Rene Pommerelle on page 239. Thanks to Steve Scott for a great job!

| As a lifetime student of the martial arts (Judo, Jujitsu, Karate, Kenjutsu, Kobudo, Krav Maga, Westling, Boxing, Combatives)I found this book interesting and very informative. I thought I knew a lot of armlocks, but after reading this book, I realized there are numerous variations of this hightly effective grappling technique. For those reviewers who claim this book only covers the basics and they did not learn anything from reading this book, I keep wondering just how much experience these people actually had in the martial arts. This book does cover the basic armlocks, but one MUST learn the basic principles before moving on to the variations and advanced techniques. Steve Scott is well known in the Judo field. And no, I am not a student of the author, though I have met him at a law enforcement seminar. In conclusion, this is a book for anyone who desires to extend their knowledge of armlocks. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Bushi Satori Ryu Official Jujitsu Manual, Monadnock Defensive Tactics System, Use of the Monadnock Straight Baton, PR-24 Police Baton Advanced Techniques, Martial Art Myths, Never Trust a Politician). |

Very well done and comprehensive book. I found a lot of information in it. Perhaps a bigger format would have made the picture more usable
