Synopsis
Written by the founder of Kodokan judo, Jigoro Kano, this text explains the original concepts and techniques of judo in detail. Judo, or the Way of Gentleness, an ideal form of physical exercise and a reliable system of self-defense, was specially created from traditional Japanese martial arts. This book by the creator of Kodokan judo is uniquely comprehensive and the most authoritative guide to this martial art ever published., Judo, or the Way of Gentleness, an ideal form of physical exercise and a reliable system, of self-defense, was specially created from traditional Japanese martial arts. This book by the creator of Kodokan judo is uniquely comprehensive and the most authoritative guide to this martial art ever published. Over a hundred years ago Jigoro Kano mastered swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat. Failing to discover any underlying principle, he set about designing a new martial art to reflect the concept of maximum efficiency in the use of physical and mental energy. Today, the concepts and techniques of judo taught at the Kodokan are the ones originally devised by their creator and collected together in this book. Covering everything from the fundamental techniques to prearranged formal exercises for both men and women, the book offers detailed explanations of how techniques are combined in two types of practice: randori (free practice) and kata (the practice of forms). In addition to a discussion of traditional methods of resuscitation, the book concludes with a useful appendix of information on the founder and the Kodokan International Judo Center, and a glossary of judo terminology. Fully illustrated throughout, Kodokan Judo will help students and instructors everywhere to discover the principles, techniques, and spirit of this popular martial art., A bible of the sport explaining all of the major techniques in detail. Includes hundreds of rare photos.

    This is part of a multiple shipment. There was a question about one item in the package, which was resolved, so the package arrived later than expected. However, it was well packed and arrived in great shape. The movies contained were exactly what I ordered, and all as described or better. I give 5 stars all round, including for shipping time, because of the reason behind it. It all leads to great service. Communication is excellent; variety, price & quality also. I highly recommend this seller.

    Received the wrong cd inside the jewel box they sent on one of my items ordered. I contacted them immediately and they responded very quickly. While they weren’t able to send the proper cd, they immediately issued a full refund. They handled the situation very politely, compassionately and professionally. I will buy from them again. You should too.
