Rener and Ryron Gracie's Gracie Combatives

If you are being smashed, you done fucked up a long time ago. Best defense is to never get there. But if someone is smashing you, and not trying to advance the position, there really isn't much you can do until he decides to go for something.

I would suggest getting Jiu Jitsu University and start going over the survival portion of the book.

Jiu-Jitsu University by Saulo Ribeiro

Almost a must read for any new student imo. The focus on positional postures and whys is especially under taught imo.

Also you can take it to the mats and look at it while drilling. Also it's cheap.

(But for dvd series Saulo's early series and Demian Maia's Science of JiuJitsu are both amazing.)

Pick up a book called BJJ university. Its fantastic and will give you all the essentials you need to survive on the ground. https://toptalkedbooks.com/amzn/0981504434
