All aboard the Gracie train - Gary Savage

 This is the second book by my very good friend Gary Savage, as he writes about his obsession with all things Gracie and his dream to become a BJJ black belt, back in a time when finding a BJJ black belt teaching in the NW of England was nigh on impossible.

The book is filled with names and characters from the early days of UK BJJ, some of them sadly no longer with us, as well as other milestone events, all written in Gary's light hearted and readable style.

It was nice to read about Gary's journey, as it pretty much mirrors my own in many ways, we are both old school dinosaurs and our paths crossed during the early days and we have been good friends ever since.

You can get the book from Amazon, as well as his other one, Karate doesn't work in a phone box.
