This book is an excellent catalogue of Judo techniques with clear photographs showing the different stages of the techniques. I highly suggest buying it.

The beginning and intermediate Judo student will be pleased with book. It is a good introduction to the major Judo techniques, starting with the basics such as falling and unbalancing you opponent, and then introducing a number of the more common techniques (throws, sweeps, chokes, and holds). Each technique is accompanied by a number of pictures showing the progression of the moves (including different variations) as well as good explanatory text.

There is good reason that this book has had 48 printings!

This is one of the old, simple books on Judo. No frills and no extended theory. Just the real stuff done by men who know the sport. This is a great book for any Judo student to learn from and to keep as a reference. Bought a bunch of them as gifts for my Judo students.

An oldie but goodie.

This is certainly one of the better "old" judo books both in the book size, pictures and explanation. I still refer to it time and time again.

Shows the basic Judo moves and techniques in an east to follow format. Starting with how to fall properly to basic and intermediate throws and counter throws. I would recommend this book to people new to Judo and high school/college wrestling, due to it's simplicity and to-the-point photos and movement explainations.

needed a book for a student in judo and found (the sport of judo)a book that has all the nessasery information about judo such as the history of judo, standing techniques, mat work, even though its dated it still will be a great help to a newer student of judo.

Outdated in terms of both content and illustration, and there are much better Judo books out there to spend your money on (see my other reviews).
