Book Reviews of Judo Techniques & Tactics (Martial Arts Series)

Book Review: Good judo overview with lots of tips
Summary: 5 Stars

Good book for novices and insights for advanced ranks. Pictures used for illustration are clear (my one gripe with Kano's Kodokan Judo. The book covers all of judo broadly but people looking for insights into certain techniques would prefer Ippon's master class series.
