Product Description
From the Publisher
In 1952 the 24-year-old Yves Klein left Paris for Japan, to pursue his first love; not art but judo. After becoming one of very few Europeans to receive a coveted 4th dan black belt from the Kodokan in Tokyo, Klein returned to France and opened the Judo Académie de Paris. In 1954 the prestigious firm of Grasset published his book Les Fondements du Judo, illustrated with hundreds of photographs of Klein and the leading Japanese teachers demonstrating the six major Kata of judo.
Now this extraordinary work has finally been translated into English.
A transimile of the French 1st edition published by Grasset, Paris, 1954

Finally in English!, 22 Oct 2010
By OB "OB" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Foundations of Judo (Paperback)
I've wanted Klein's judo book for years, but the French original is a collector's item and very expensive -- Klein is a very important modern artist, and his art is in the world's best museums. I haven't received my copy yet, but am delighted that it was translated by a judoka who is also an artist, and that its design replicates the original. Buy it now before the 1500 copies disappear!
