Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Judo: Beginner to Black Belt is a modern presentation of sport judo techniques from white belt novice to black belt expert, and a guide to colored belt ranking. There are falls, throws, counterthrows, matwork grappling, contestant strategy and tactics, and a selection of formal routines. Judo can be practiced by the once-a-week player, or it can be an activity for the dedicated athlete aspiring to compete at the world tournament level. Judo is an Olympic Games event.

About the Author
Bruce Tegner was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1929. Both of his parents were professional teachers of judo and jujitsu; they began his formal instruction in the martial arts when Bruce was two years old!

In a field where most individuals concentrate on a narrow specialty, Bruce Tegner's experience was unusual. His education covered many aspects of weaponless fighting of many styles, as well as sword and stick techniques. At the age of 21, after becoming the California state judo champion, he gave up competition to devote himself to research, course development, teaching and teacher-training.

In the U.S. armed forces, Mr. Tegner trained instructors to teach unarmed combat; he taught military police tactics; he coached sport judo teams. Later, he trained actors and devised choreographed fight scenes for movies and television. From 1952-1957 he operated his own school in Hollywood, California. There, he taught men, women, and children of very different abilities. Some students were naturally gifted in the martial arts, while others were blind and disabled.

3.0 out of 5 stars Middle of the pack, nice contrasting Gi colors., September 18, 1998
By cnicoll@msxi.com (Detroit, MI) - See all my reviews
The first thing I noticed in this book was how outdated some of the material was. For instance they demonstrate a incorrect way of break falling that sent shivers down my spine thinking somebody at home would learn this method. What the book does positively. Covers all core throwing techniques with a section on counters and combinations. I also might mention that many Judo books have the Judoka both wearing the same colored gi which sometimes give the appearance that they assimilating. Bruce's book has Judoka wearing different colored gi's which is a nice touch. The newaza like most Judo books is spartan at best. A couple of pins, the chokes we all know and love, you basic armlocks and that is about it. In a sea of Judo books this comes in the middle somewhere, but I will admit I have picked up a couple combinations from this manual and have used them successfully in randori.
