Fills the void,
By
This review is from: Judo Heart and Soul (Paperback)
Judo: Heart & Soul is such a good book.
It is not technical in nature so you will not learn new techniques from it. What you will get from this book is the set of small wisdoms, tips and stories about Judo that we all live through, or that we will be going through. What I like about this book is that it fills the void in what Judo books usually cover. Most of the books out there (and many of them are great) are Judo technical or reference books. That is all great, but what I always wanted was this kind of a practice and competition guide - full of wisdoms, tips, and mental guides. This book is exactly that - it is a group of essays that talk about common experiences in Judo that keep you going. What was the most helpful to me was the set of confirmations that I found in the book about how I approach Judo, how I practice it, what I do and think in competition ... In other words, I realize now that I am not crazy - we all (Judoka) are.

This review is from: Judo Heart and Soul (Paperback)
This is not a technical manual, but a motovational speech put to paper. I found it inspirational and motivating. It is a very quick read. I found that it is best read one or two topics at a time.

Not just for judokas,
This review is from: Judo Heart and Soul (Paperback)
The title of the book may not do it justice. .Regardless of martial art, or style, the chapters in this book contain bits and pieces of valuable information for competitors. Mr. Nishioka compiled a myriad of short lessons that are well worth reading. A. Bustillo
