Library's review
For the practice of judo, it is the most important to get the excellent instructor. At the same time, it is much useful to get the general idea of the art with a concise explanatory book on Judo. Such are very scarce nowadays in this country; especially those written for foreigners. The present
Judo is generally known in Europe and America with the name of Jiujitsu, while in this country, the latter name is at present superseded by the former one.
Jiujitsu is a nomination originated naturally since long time, and judo is a name given to the principles of jiujitsu completely systematized and rearranged by Prof. J. Kano, the founder of our Kodakan Judo College.
As a guide book for the beginners, many pictures are inserted with the explanations of the practice; more practical explanation rather than that of theoretical side.
As the edition was a little hurried, there may be some points to be thought over. The compiler's aim will therefore be only attained, if one, reading with application, can deepen the knowledge of the art and get some profit for the practice.
'Very fortunate for the Kodokan to announce on its Second Printing that this pamphlet has enjoyed a wide and gradually increasing demand since its first appearance in May, 1947. Furthermore, when the Kodokan party of four, including the President, visited Europe and America recently, they received a strong urge for publicaton of a book on Judo in a more complete form than this brochure. This must be, the Kodokan is under the impression, a happy indication of healthy growth of the Kokokan Judo throughout the world.
Under these circumstances, it is profoundly regretted that this pamphlet should go on the second printing with only a few corrections and additons. The Kodokan only wishes the reader kindly to understand that it is well aware of the situation which it would exert its utmost to meet in some way in the future.'--The Kodokan April 18, 1952
