The Complete Kano Jiu-Jitsu (Judo)

The best guide to learning jiu-jitsu ever written in English, this is the most comprehensive study to be had. It describes the authentic form of judo developed in the late 19th century by Professor Jiguro Kano — not the many imitations steadily known as by this name. Officially recognized by the Japanese government as the preeminent school of jiu-jitsu, the Kano system used to be the method in which Japanese armed forces and police were trained.
The complete system of 160 holds and throws is clearly explained, with 487 photographs and four charts providing further clarification. Pressure points, balance, falling, and each other important aspect receives full and complete remedy. The first section presents 60 “tricks” of combat in strict sequence that prepare for part two, in which readers learn to apply the benefits of the tricks they have got learned. The third section deals with highly scientific tricks of combat, by which an opponent is also incapacitated — and the methods of kuatsu, or resuscitation, by which a fallen opponent is also revived.
Martial arts students at each level of experience will find this classic guide a source of valuable information and instruction.
