Judo Principles Ne-Waza

This is my third book. It is a sequel to 'Go-kyo,' and the second book of the 'Judo Principles' series; it embraces the fundamentals of ne-waza or the ground technique. 'Go-kyo' followed 'My judo,' in which I described my favourite techniques and the way to my various championships.

thought ne-waza to be extremely important and been amazed that it should be so unjustly left out in the cold by many judoka.

I am convinced that it is every bit as important as tachi-waza, and that judokas should begin to study it as soon as possible.

The number of fundamental techniques in ne-waza is much smaller than in tachi-waza, and they are so simple that it is by no means impossible for even a novice to master them.

Their use in contest judo, however, is a very different story. The application of ne-waza is extremely difficult because of the innumerable variations that an inventive opponent can create, and the only way to combat these is to draw upon ones own variations for which a thorough knowledge of the fundamentals is essential.

I have often seen important contests and championships won or lost through ne-waza techniques, and can never stress too strongly their importance.
