5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for the beginning student, January 30, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Judo Techniques & Tactics (Hardcover)
This is an excellent manual for the beginning student, it does a great job of covering the beginning techniques and essential dojo knowledge and gives a very thorough overview of judo competition and beyond. The only downside is that I wished the techniques had been shown from different angles so the reader could see the little things that make even the basic techniques more effective.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great reference., May 16, 2006

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
A great reference for beginners, with a great approach to teaching. The book focuses more upon tactical situations, than upon the techniques. In other words: opponent is moving forward, here are some things you can do. If s/he stiffens or pulls back, try this or this.

Most judo books take the approach: here is an osoto-gari, here are a couple of ways to use it.

I think the book's tactical focus is a great method; buy this book if you need a beginner's reference (or a teacher's manual).
