Book Reviews of The Canon of Judo: Classic Teachings on Principles and Techniques
Book Review: JUDO SUPREME!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you were looking for a good book about Judo and didn't know where to start I would say get The Canon Of Judo by Kyuzo Mifune, 10th dan. Whether you are beginner, intermediate, advanced or teacher. Whichever one you are, you are going to learn about Judo. Judo techniques and principles are not just about throwing, there is also the lost art of grappling, including chokes and armbars, which Brazillian JiuJitsu is famous for. In fact reliable sources say the man that taught the first Gracie came from Japan.
Gracie promised not to teach his art to anyone, so out of respect for his teacher he did not teach his art to others. Gracie changed the name and thus the art, he called it Brazillian JiuJitsu. For those that are thinking I'm taking a swipe at the Gracie's your dead wrong. You can teach anyone any art form and they can call it what they want. It is still up to that individual as to what they do with it. Now as we all know, the Gracie's have done a lot.
Judo, on the other hand, is a different art form, as taught by a Grand Master at the top of his game. Not only was Mifune, a great teacher but an even greater competitor. Mifune was well over 70 years old and still taking all comers on the mat. Age or rank did not matter, not even your style. He never lost a match. Some say he was never thrown. There are lots of good things I can say about this book or Kyuzo Mifune, but not as good as what others have already said. You want to know more, read what others have said.
As for this book, it is a 'must have' for your Judo or Martial Arts Library. It is 'required reading' if you plan to compete. I have my copy right next to Judo Unleashed by Neil Ohlenkamp and some pertinent information from Dr. Rhadi Ferguson, and Jimmy Pedro. Judo people know who they are the rest of you will just have to look them up. Just think Olympics and World championships.
