5.0 out of 5 stars Much Better, June 14, 2008

By 

Mark Twain "Go Liverpool" (Atlanta, Rhode Island) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Drills for Grapplers: Training Drills And Games You Can Do On The Mat For Jujitsu, Judo And Submission Grappling (Perfect Paperback)

I thought this book was much better than Mr. Scott's previous books. I have used many of the drills in my club since reading this. Some of the drills are simple and common but that is to be expected in any type of coaching drill book. Most of these are great ideas to shake up a practice. I hope Mr. Scott writes more books for teaching or practicing Judo because there are not many out there that focus on drills and ways to practice Judo beyond what was written decades ago. These would be a valued resources for any new instructor or an instructor that wants something to keep his current grapplers awake.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for Solo training, August 12, 2008

This review is from: Drills for Grapplers: Training Drills And Games You Can Do On The Mat For Jujitsu, Judo And Submission Grappling (Perfect Paperback)

I purchased this book because it advertised the inclusion of solo drills. While I am certain that the drills included in the book are worthwhile, and if done properly, will cause your grappling skills to improve, there were only two solo drills. Not having a training partner outside of the dojo the book was of limited value to me and I ended up returning it.

If you are looking for great ideas to help you mix up your training, for the price, this book is an excellent source. It would have gotten 4 stars if not for the black and white photos. If production quality is of little importance to you get this book.
