Summary of Mind Over Muscle: Writings from the Founder of Judo

Throughout his life, Kano repeatedly remphasized grasping the correct meaning of judo and putting it into practice. That is to say, one must understand that judo is the way by which one can make the best use of one's mental and physical energy, and put that into use for the good of society. Because judo was defined in this way, what had once merely fallen under the category of martial art-a fighting skill used to defend against an attack-became subsumed into an altogether richer, more complex, and universal judo, which in turn evolved into a principle that can be applied across the spectrum of human life. The circumstances surrounding the development of judo are described throughout this book, as are its underlying principles, which the author believes have unibersal applicability to everyday life.

This book will be an invaluable addition to the liberaries of all judo practitioners around the world.
