The Making of Jean Jacques Machado's Grappler's Handbook

The Making of Jean Jacques Machado's Grappler's Handbook

On February 9, 2009, Jean Jacques Machado and Jay Zeballos visited Black Belt to shoot their upcoming project, The Grappler's Handbook, with photographer Rick Hustead.

The book is on track for September 2009 shipping to the printers and will be available in time for Christmas shopping, so make notes on your list for the grapplers in your life!

In the meantime, here's a sneak peek from behind the scenes!
