Summary: Simply the best textbook for technique For Student and Coach
Comment: This is without a doubt the manual for Judoka everywhere. I use my copies on a regular basis. I coach at a Community College and have produced many national Level players, and Collegiate Champions. I list this book as well as Sensei Kudo's Grappling techniques( Newaza) book in my course bibliography of recommended reading. The photos are magnificent, as well as the sequential segments that focus on the key points of each techniqe. No mumbo-jumbo, no mystery, but good solid body mechanics and biomechanical application. At the time he wrote this book, Kudo was one of the few 9th dans in the world. He ranks right up there with Kotani Sensei and Mifune Sensei for sheer Judo knowledge and contribution. Both the volumes in this series are works of art and a must for any Judo library.

Summary: The best step-by-step guide to judo I've ever seen!
Comment: Sensei Kudo not only creates the best step-by-step manual of the basic important throws in judo, but he also covers important counters to those throws. Kudo's book on ne-waza (grappling techniques) is equally good and set up in a similar style. These are both important books for the teacher and student alike.
