Ground fighting is taking the martial arts world by storm, but how do you get to the ground safely and end in a prone position? What are the dangers of throwing and taking an opponent over? In this book on throwing and take-down techniques of Judo, the author teaches how to control vertical grappling and destroy an assailant with a demolishing throw. Including the original "blow before throw" techniques banned from sport grappling at the beginning of the century.

Summary: Disappointing...
Comment: I had hoped that this book would be a good reference manual for learning and teaching the various throws and takedowns of this art. In short, while the (very)few arts that were covered seemed to explained fairly well, this book does not seem to do the art of judo much justice. There is just not enough material in the book. Also...the extra large print used in the book made it seem that the publisher was using the large print-type just to take up space...if they had not...the book could have been condensed into a pamphlet.
In short...put your money towards other books with more "meat" to them. I'm sending mine back to Amazon for a refund.
