About this listen

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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Rener is so charismatic I’m glad he chose to narrate this himself. I’ve enjoyed going through the principles and have already started applying them myself. I even handed in my resignation on a job that meant I couldn’t spend enough time with my son and attend Jiujitsu regularly. Now I can! 😁I hope to travel and train with Rener one day, that’s the dream and using the principles, I’m sure it’ll be a reality.

A great read with an even greater purpose!

Of the many things that make this book disappointing, the biggest one is that its editor did not effectively decide what it is. It is trying to be too many things at once:
1. A self-help book for life in general
2. Instructional for improving jiu jitsu practice
3. Informative about the history of Gracie Jiu Jitsu
4. A sales pitch
5. A philosophical reflection on how Rener sees Jiu Jitsu as life
6. An egotistical autobiography
Had the editor chosen three of those to focus on, it may have worked for the people who would be interested in that kind of thing. As a jiu jitsu practitioner, it was frustrating trying to sift through the Gracie marketing stuff and faux philosophy to find anything useful or interesting about Jiu jitsu.
