5.0 out of 5 stars For the Advanced Judoka, February 28, 2009

Edgar - See all my reviews

This review is from: Throws and Takedowns for sambo, judo, jujitsu and submission grappling (Paperback)

This book is written by a man who completely understands his field. But Mr. Scott has written for the advanced Judo player. Anyone can benefit from the study of this manual but those with the most experience will gain the most from it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific book on throws, April 8, 2011

This review is from: Throws and Takedowns for sambo, judo, jujitsu and submission grappling (Paperback)

Mr. Scott does a terrific job on describing a variety of ways to get your opponent on the ground. While I agree with the other reviewers that some techniques in the book are advanced, I disagree that it is only for the advanced student. Anyone interested in learning new throws or interesting variations of throws they already know will get a lot out of this book.
