Great New Judo Book for the 21st Century
1 Jun 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase
I really like this as a text book for my students. It covers the basics in detail using current technology for photos and diagrams, The overview of judo history and evolution into a popular Olympic sport is explained well with a reverence for it's martial roots. Had I written a book myself it would look a lot like this one.

A must have
13 Jun 2006
In addition to the comments already posted, the photo sequences of moves + the close-ups of grips AND positioning of the feet are extremely effective reminders of what the sensei/coach keep pounding in our heads back at the dojo/gym.
Neil Ohlenkamp's years as a Judo teacher shows through in the way he presents basic information and the nuances that are so important to competitive Judo.
Although the techniques are intended for intermediates and higher, the beginner Judoka or experienced grappler (BJJer or Wrestler) will be able to understand and appreciate the essential elements.
You will not be disapointed with this book and it's so cheap! Remember, Mr. Ohlenkamp runs the most popular Judo Information site in the world.

This book will do a lot of great things for promoting Judo.
