This is a complete reprint of Judo (Jujutsu), the last book published by Kano Jigoro, the founder of Judo, which was originally published in 1937. This book is an excellent introduction to the world of Judo. It details Kano's development of his martial art, as well as some of the rules and regulations of the Kodokan system before World War II. Judo (Jujutsu) also features over 60 clear and very rare photographs of Kano Jigoro demonstrating Judo techniques including several rare photographs of women's training among others for a total of 71 photographs.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Alright,
By Ben the bulldog (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Judo (Jujutsu) (Paperback)
The reason I gave this book a low rating is because it is the reprinting of an informational pamphlet on Judo from 1937, and is hardly worth the $12 that I paid, it probably cost $2 to print because of the short length, about 60 pages, and I would recommend to just invest a few more dollars in Kodokan Judo, it is all you would need without this book. The information contained within was informative, but definitely not worth the $12 paid.

An excellent Judo primer, by the founder himself,

This review is from: Judo (Jujutsu) (Paperback)
This is the last book Kano Jigoro wrote before his death. Although this book is not full of techniques and how-to's, it does provide a great historical look at the organization of Judo during its inception. Anyone interested in Judo or martial arts in general would be well advised to buy it.

Get it if you can...,

This review is from: Judo (Jujutsu) (Paperback)
If you can get your hands on this, it is well worth having. Getting it may be the question, however. My original order was eventually cancelled out of frustration at the delay in getting it. I eventually purchased an "original" for its historical value and paid a pretty ransom for it, about $100. This is Kano's book and at 70 or so pages is a small treasure. If you value the words and teachings of the oriiginal master, make it your business to add this to your judo library.
