Product Description

Book Jacket
The art of shimewaza--strangling techniques--is the most esoteric branch of judo. Difficult and complex, it is at the same time swift and deadly. No one can afford to treat a shimewaza expert casually.
Although relatively light, Katsuhiko Kashiwazaki--world champion in the 65k category in 1981--demonstrated this in a successful competition career that often found him facing much bigger men both in team competitions and in the dojo.
In this--the most comprehensive survey of shimewaza ever undertaken--he catalogues the main techniques. He explains the historically important juji-jime and meticulously details those techniques which are of particular relevance in judo today such as okuri-eri-jime and sangaku-jime.
His exposition is enriched by numerous competition photographs as well as interesting chapters on the history of shimewaza and Kashiwazaki's own personal experience.
Shimewaza is an important contribution to judo literature.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must-have for any aspiring judoka, 27 Jun 2001
By A Customer
While Kashiwazaki focuses on only a handful of strangles, his attention to detail and the variety of variations makes this a gold-mine of information for anyone interested in shimewaza. While nothing replaces time in the dojo, Kashiwaza's explanations can help turn a poorly applied strangle which slowly constricts an opponent into one which comes on suddenly and sharply. I only have two contentions with the book: [1] length - it could easily be expanded into a second volume. [2] sangaku-jime - the technical explanation could be improved upon, as Kashiwazaki overlooked addressing the importance of controlling the shoulder, and detailed placement of the leg behind the neck.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking., 16 May 1999
By A Customer
Although only a few shimewazas are explored in detail this book encourages you to think in more detail about how to use strangles successfully. Visit us at the World-Wide Martial Arts Venues Website! -
