Product Description

book jacket

Ashiwaza is the heart of good judo and very few judoka progress far without one of the four techniques covered in Ashiwaza II. Ouchi-gari and kouchi-gari always figure relatively high in the scoring results in major championships because they can be used to great effect against decisive and awkward opponents.

But as America's lightweight champion Michael Swain shows, precision is crucial to success. As a noted stylist he used these techniques repeatedly against bigger and stronger men in both randori and competition. He explains how ouchi-gari in particular enabled him to survive when he first went to Japan to study judo as a raw teenager. On the way to his world title in 1987 he threw the Japanese champion with ouchi-gari.

The beginner starts with a reap or a hook. But a proper ouchi-gari, kouchi-gari, kosoto-gari or hiza-guruma as explained by Swain will open the door to a much deeper, richer understanding of these ashiwaza and to greater effectiveness on the judo mat.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent, 8 April 2001
Ashiwaza 2 like the rest of the ippon books is very much essential for any serious judokas. From this book, i very much improved on techniqures such as ouchi-gari. The advantages of this book are that it has very clear pictures and explainations. The explainations are also kept brief to avoid boredom. It showed many different varaitions of a single technique and also its combination throw. To be honest, this book is indeed worth investing but it has one disadvantage. Most of the demostrations have been done from a left-handed point of view because Michael Swain is a left-handed judo player. This may be difficult for beginners to grasp easily.
