5.0 out of 5 stars Real Martial Art!!!, September 4, 2001
By 
Marcin Wolek (Gdynia, Poland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Judo Formal Techniques: A Complete Guide to Kodokan Randori No Kata (Paperback)
This is a book for those who would like to know what Kodokan Judo differs from sport competition. As a sport Judo practicioner I could never expect so wide range of techniques and deep tradition. Now I can see the wisdom of Mr. Kano who preserved one of the best Japanese export products ever created -complete and powerful martial art! The photos, drawings and description are very clear and high quality. Absolute for every Judoka, regardless of rank and experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential textbook for all Judo practitioners., January 6, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Judo Formal Techniques: A Complete Guide to Kodokan Randori No Kata (Paperback)
Judo Formal Techniques covers Randori no Kata (both Nage no Kata and Katame no Kata), the basic techniques used in competition judo. The book provides detailed information on each of the techniques, including advice for both the attacker and defender. It also touches on the basic theories behind the techniques, competition etiquette, and the philosophies of the founder of judo (Jigoro Kano) and many of judo's proponents. Technique descriptions are heavily supported by a number of excellent photographs.

5.0 out of 5 stars a good textbook in judo, November 22, 2000
By 
Qiang Xu (Morrisville, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Judo Formal Techniques: A Complete Guide to Kodokan Randori No Kata (Paperback)
i just bought this book from kinokuniya bookstore. it is a very good book, i think. it presents the detailed explanation of techniques involved in judo. however, i think you will benefit most if you could combine this book with the reading of another one - "The Secrets of Judo" - a masterpiece in illustrating the mechanical principles that underlies Judo.
