Mr Oliver Staark

After the success of the Zen Jiu Jitsu series, the latest addition to the lineup is now available: Zen Jiu Jitsu - Human Chess.

This particular volume explores some of the concepts, philosophies, and ideas that have been gleaned over the last ten years since he became a black belt and is now running his own academy.

The books cover several topics including:

- Breath-work and how it can completely change your Cardio

- Fitting all your Training in

- Defensive BJJ as the Future?

- Top Game vs Bottom Game

Oliver writes his books for a wide array of Jiu-Jitsu students. They can be 55-year-old white belts all the way to 25-year-old brown belt competitors. What separates him from the other Jiu-Jitsu publishers is his ability to explain complex topics in a no-nonsense, straightforward manner. He doesn't promise the world, but always delivers step-by-step strategies and concepts you can implement right away.

In his spare time, Oliver travels, reads a lot, practices BJJ, and is a competitive target shooter.
