Critical Judo (Paperback)

Using line drawings representing two judo practitioners performing techniques, this book covers all the skills required to reach black belt. The main action runs along the middle of the page, while alternative moves, combinations or counters are placed above or below the relevant points. Using the diagrams for reference, it is easy to work out the elements in each technique and from there how to adapt to continually changing situations. It also contains helpful information about dojo etiquette, balance and movement, breakfalls and general groundwork.
