What I like about this book is that it explains clearly the different techniques in Judo, and has lots of pictures to guide you if you are doing a Judo move correctly. Personally, I am using this book for a judo class that I am taking this semester, and it has helped me understand and visualize different types of fighting styles. This is the reason that I bought his book. The only thing that I do not like about this book are the book covers. A page is glued along with the main book cover on both sides. That's about it. Everything else is excellent. The book starts from the basics, history of Judo, how to properly wear your judogi, etc. A really recommend this book to anyone who likes Judo, from beginner to pro, or just a Judo enthusiast.
This text is an essential guide to understanding the history, principles and techniques of judo. It covers the origin of Jigoro Kano and his development of judo as well as detailed accounts of different techniques needed to master the sport. Serious judoka who aspire to get their black belt and teach judo should invest time in reading this book.
