The Mat Journey: A Nonlinear Guide to Jiu-Jitsu

By: Klering, Mariele

Jiu-Jitsu doesn't move in straight lines, and neither does this book.

The Mat Journey: A Nonlinear Guide to Jiu-Jitsu is part open mat, part survival guide, and part comedy relief. Instead of flipping from page one to the end, you will pick your path, make choices, and roll through the book the same way you do on the mats: with detours, resets, and plenty of surprises along the way.

Inside you will find:

Core lessons in control, patience, and humility.

Mat Breaks filled with awkward, funny, and all-too-relatable fails.

Endings that circle back to the beginning - because Jiu-Jitsu never really ends.

Whether you are a white belt learning to survive, a purple belt experimenting with creativity, or a black belt who still laughs at the occasional mat fail, this book will remind you why you keep coming back.

It's not a manual. It's not a memoir. It's an open mat for your brain, your body, and your story.

Step in, tie your belt, and choose your roll.
