Which book should I start with?

If you are just starting out in Jiu Jitsu, we recommend "5 Rules For White Belt" for a simple and useful framework to begin your Jiu Jitsu journey in the right direction!

FAQ image

Which book will help me apply what I learn in Jiu Jitsu to the rest of my life?

While all books share the central theme around using Jiu Jitsu as a vehicle for personal development, "On Jiu Jitsu" is the breakdown of how Jiu Jitsu shapes our character through the lens of virtue and vice, and is far and away the most popular after "5 Rules For White Belt."

FAQ image

Which book is best for helping me navigate my emotions and ego while training?

"Jiu Jitsu and The Ego" is hands down the best book for learning how to navigate the inner experience of frustration and ego during training. This book is the beginning of a conversation our Jiu Jitsu community needs - how to use Jiu Jitsu as a tool for mindfulness and a means of transcending the ego.

Does Chris have any books that do not involve Jiu Jitsu?

Yes! "Improve" is a comprehensive book about personal development OFF the mat! This is Chris's only published book exclusively about personal development.

Matakas BJJ has been an amazing experience for my daughter. I can't say enough about this family-oriented academy and their dedicated coaches. If want your child to learn to defend themselves, go see for yourself and sit in on a class.
