Summary
Details

Originally published in 1963 this authoritative guide gives step-by-step instructions on how to acquire mastery in a sport which in has gained wide popularity in all parts of the world. The book is written simply and lucidly, with the sole aim of assisting the reader to achieve a degree of proficiency in this particular aspect of Judo. The diagrams and posture pictures profusely illustrating the descriptive text helps to support this objective.

In Judo the art of throwing is spectacular and is essential to being a true Judo player. It is extremely advantageous to learn this art in order to be competent and competitive in the sport of Judo. If one is strong in this art, it is possible to obtain a victory against an opponent even though one's grappling is inferior to that of the opponent. Judo's throwing techniques, once acquired, enable the practitioner to achieve some really spectacular feats of prowess. The reader should be able not only to grasp their secrets, but also put them to practice as well, to good effect, in a minimum of time.

The scope of the book is a wide exposition and clarification of various throwing techniques, their effectiveness in contests, the application of proper technique and a very analytical approach to footwork and balance.

The author is a Doctor of Medicine as well as a black belt in Judo. In this book he has taken great pains to explain the throwing techniques from all angles. He describes them in detail and in logical sequence.

Along with nearly 60 illustrations all the techniques in this book are described in detail and represent invaluable knowledge and insight into the study of proper throwing technique.
