Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the Ultimate Illustrated Guidebook started as an April Fool’s joke and then morphed into a BEAST of a book complete with 967 illustrations.
In episode 424 of The Strenuous Life Podcast I chat with the authors of this awesome new book: renowned BJJ black belt, illustrator and designer Seymour Yang (better known as Meerkatsu) and his partner in crime Graham Barlow (the creator of the Tai Chi Notebook) about the core techniques of BJJ, modern vs traditional jiu-jitsu, and the process of bringing a new book into the world.

P.S. And while we’re on the topic of books check out Perseverance, Life and Death in the Subarctic. While this isn’t a BJJ book specifically, it does contain many of the lessons I learned about endurance, perseverance, and grit on the toughest expedition of my life.
This is a memoir of my toughest solo trip ever, a 42 day solo expedition into the remote Canadian North where I dodged forest fires, stared down bears, and canoed raging rapids completely alone. Check out “Perseverance, Life and Death in the Subarctic” in hardcover, anywhere you get your books including at the links below:
