Book Reviews of Judo in the U.S.: A Century of Dedication
Book Review: An inspiration for other judo organizations in the world!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book about the history of judo in the USA. The photos and artifacts are outstanding and give the reader a good impression of how judo has changed over the centuries.
For me as judoka from Germany, training now in the US, the book helped me to understand the developments and relationships between the different American judo organizations. I hope that this book is an inspiration for other judo organizations in the world (for example the Deutsche (German) Judo Bund) to write down their own judo history before it has been forgotten
Summary of Judo in the U.S.: A Century of Dedication
Commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the United States Judo Federation, this volume traces the more than 100-year history of judo practice in America. The authors begin with a comprehensive survey of Japan's classical disciplines, which sets the foundation for understanding what judo is and what it means to the people who practice it. They show how, from its arrival on U.S. shores in the late nineteenth century, judo has built upon the strengths of the two societies it bridges. For martial arts practitioners and others interested in Asian and American cultural history, this thoroughly researched and richly illustrated book is an indispensable resource for understanding judo's ongoing role in the contemporary life of the United States.Martial Arts Books
