Customer Comments:David J. Haille from Dayton, OH , August 6, 1999 This book will help anyone be their best in judo I trained for several years, and spent most of them on a plateau. This book helped me smash through that glass ceiling (or whatever it was) that held me back. Now, I am flawlessly executing complex moves I never thought I would be able to use. What I got from this book was one flash of insight after another. My only regret is the time I wasted BEFORE I latched onto Inokuma's powerful words. I am forever indebted to the author. My son is showing an interest in Judo. This will be his text.

Customer Comments:peter@preview.org from San Diego, USA , December 14, 1997 well-ordered, good pictures I liked this book for these reasons: * completely groups all throws as defined in the Go-Kyo * the photos are good even for beginners, e.g. they show moves from different points of view * covers 40 throws, ne-waza and even some katas * does not try to analyze moves with vector-diagrams etc. as some other literature does What I not liked: * ne-waza covers only basic stuff, the book misses things e.g. "how to turn s.th."
