Library's review
Aimed at the vast majority of practising judomen, from novices upwards, The Basis of Judo, although it could prove useful to beginners, is not intended to teach judo to people who have never attended lessons.
The subject is covered in a way that has hitherto never been used in any other book. The
The reader is given a new insight into judo and is shown how to polish his skill to a razor-sharp edge. For the benefit of those with very little experience, many of the throws and groundwork techniques are lillustrated and the main points of etiquette are explained. To increase further the value and usefulness of his book, the author caps all this with the 'ten chances to attack' section which, to his knowlege, has never before been explained in this way.
