Most people learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu backwards.
They chase techniques.
They memorize positions.
They build a growing library of moves, hoping that more knowledge will eventually lead to better performance.
But the mat teaches a different truth.
The practitioners who move the best are rarely the ones who know the most techniques. They are the ones who understand movement itself.
Simplex Motus: Movement Before Technique explores the deeper foundation beneath Jiu-Jitsu. Instead of focusing on techniques, this book examines the qualities that make techniques actually work:
• movement
• structure
• balance
• pressure
• sensitivity
• timing
• connection
Through clear and thoughtful explanations, this book shows why technique alone is never enough. Techniques are only expressions of movement. When movement is weak, techniques fail. When movement is strong, techniques appear naturally.
Rather than presenting another collection of moves, this book invites practitioners to look underneath the surface of the art and rediscover the conversation that happens whenever two bodies meet on the mat.
This is a book for practitioners who want to understand Jiu-Jitsu at a deeper level.
White belts who want a better foundation.
Blue belts who feel stuck in their development.
Experienced practitioners searching for simplicity after years of complexity.
If you have ever felt that the real essence of Jiu-Jitsu is something deeper than techniques, this book will help you see what the art has been trying to teach all along.
Movement comes first.
Technique comes later.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
