Book Reviews of The Techniques of Judo (Tuttle Martial Arts)
Book Review: A great Judo text!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the better (of many) introductory / intermediate Judo books available. "Techniques of Judo" briefly covers the basics (bowing, calisthenics, postures, falling, holding, unbalancing the opponent) and moves on to the core of the book, which is throws. This includes hand throws, hip throws, leg throws, and back and side throws. The four concluding chapters cover grappling techniques, including holds, strangling holds, and armlock techniques.Each technique has about 4 or 5 photographs clearly showing the progression of the move, and 3 to 4 additional photographs showing alternate variations or a counter to the move. What separates this book from the pack is the excellent textual detail that is included with each technique. The authors do a fantastic job of presenting the dynamics associated with proper execution of the throw. The numerous variations and counters included in this text will make it a Judo text with lasting value.
