I prefer books for long distance learning but there are some details that are better shown on dvd. Depends on your learning style. With MTS being so cheap it's really no-brainer to sign up for it.
All of the above. They all hold very valuable info. MTS keeps you up to date on the newest techniques but the DVDs and books show you the foundation of the system.Quote:

I would say if you were forced to pick one, got with a pro subscription and start watching all the instructional footage in teh MTS episodes.
But if you can get all, then get all. Books, DVDs and MTS.
Personally MTS tops them all for me. Unique in its presentation and content. 11/10
I agree, but the Twister DVD is so badass, and the books....Quote:

If you're new to the system, go with the books.
If you've been following and implementing the 10th Planet ideas into your game for a while, I'd say go with MTS.
The books have been a great resource for me. I can take them anywhere and be looking at what I want to study within just a few seconds. All of Eddie's books are well organized and easy to navigate. However, books are difficult to learn from in the beginning until you get a basic understanding of some fundamentals. So if you are completely new to jiu jitsu it may be best to stick to the more descriptive DVDs and MTS episodes in the beginning.
Yeah when I started MTS would have been too much for me. Books were perfect for learning the basic of the half guard and just trying to get the lockdown, then jaws of life and so on. They're laid out in a logical order in the books so it really helped me. Although you could just get MTS for a month and see what you think. Wouldn't cost you much.
I learned the system and the path from the books and the tech from the vids. You shoulda seen my kung-fu move before tha vidz. Yikes.
I tell people to read the books just to get a feel for Eddie. Jj is a long journey and you wanna make sure your not blindly following anyones advice. Eddie can be a genuine instructor 3000 miles away. MTS is by far the best resource imo. But all resources are better.
I didn't know you could read, Bobby!! Congrats bro, you have to teach me!! LOLQuote:

It has a lot of pictures.
Lmao!!
