Product Description

book jacket
Osaekomi--the holds of judo--is the root of all ground work. With a sound and secure knowledge of the mechanics of getting an opponent on his back and holding him there comes an understanding of judo that is second to none.

Katsuhiko Kashiwazaki is widely regarded as one of the greatest exponents of osaekomi of the last decades of the 20th century. During a highly successful competition career culminating in the world title in 1981 the majority of his victories came from ground work and osaekomi in particular.

This is the first book ever to concentrate purely on osaekomi and as such presents a considerable challenge. The range of the classic holds is relatively small--less that a dozen--but the numbers of variations and methods of application are enormous; and they are changing and developing all the time.

In this extremely clear explanation Kashiwazaki deals with the basic holds, the variations, the weaknesses and the escapes. Then--in what is perhaps the most revealing aspect of the book--he presents the applications, the turnovers that enable the judoka to apply the holds.

Katame-waza (ground work) is often likened to a chess match where unlike tachiwaza (standing) there is time to consider, to plan and to lead the opponent into a trap which cannot be broken.

Osaekomi is a guide-book to a high level of mastery. A careful study will inevitably lead to a greater success in randori and competition --and to a greater understanding of the fundamental principles in judo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written and very informative., 23 Jan 2002

By	kravmagauk@aol.com (London) - See all my reviews

The whole series from ippon books is great. This book takes a detailed look at the more technical aspects of judo groundwork. This is invaluable to those who need a few finer points in order to correct their techniques. I have tried many of the moves in the book and found almost all to be very workable. There are some fantastic little tips and great escapes contained in this book that I have not seen or been taught anywhere else. I you like Judo then I highly recommend this book. I only pray that Kashiwazaki writes another one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Technicaly perfect, 18 Oct 2003

By	J. Concannon (Moncton, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Like all of the masterclass series this one is not for beginners, but any coach or dan grade without Osaekomi may be missing something from their arsenal. In my opinion this is the best of the series; no matter how I try, I will never be an expert with seio-nage - I'm too tall - but Kashiwazaki's Osaekomi is applicable by everyone. It still amazes me that I go to a club and end up teaching moves from this book that no-one at the club has used before. As a tachi-waza specialist, this book, even more than shimewaza or arm-locks from the same series, has opened up Ne-waza to me. All of the moves are explained clearly and in detail, step by step. If you only buy one book from the masterclass series (you mean you haven't got them all????) this should be the one.
