Synopsis:

Many books have been written for the Judo beginner. Most are of the "do-it-yourself" variety, but in most places today it should seldom, if ever, be necessary for anyone to have to learn judo without an instructor.

Originally published in 1963, the aim of "Judo" was to create a book that would help the beginner who is studying Judo under an instructor. The information in the book is intended to complement what your instructor tells you, to give you background information, and also to some extent to serve as a reminder of things he has taught you.

One does not have to vie for the coveted black belt to enjoy the physical and mental benefits associated with this art form. Covering everything from basic breakfalls and throws to complicated locks and strangle-holds this is a well-authored and very comprehensive look at Judo techniques. Each technique is carefully and clearly explained with the aid of illustrations, as the Judoka is taken through the various moves, holds, and falls.

It gives you a complete orientation to the principles, practices and techniques of Judo, shows you how to maintain your balance, how to disturb your opponent's balance, and much more. Along with some advanced Judo techniques as well as self-defense specific movements this book should be a part of any martial arts enthusiast library.
