Customer Reviews

Great Judo book!

Hoare Sensei really did a great job with this book. He covers throws, chokes, pins, conditioning, and self defense. This book has helped me immensely. Pick up a copy!

My favorite judo book

I own every judo book on this page and this one is the best. It might not have the flashy pictures of the others but it's simple, easy to understand groundwork explanations are awesome. After reading this book no one in our club could hold me down and no one could escape from my hold downs. Most of the other books are translations from Japanese and the explanations can be fairly cryptic. This one is written by a British guy who knows his stuff(he's a seventh dan). Teach Yourself Judo is also one of the cheapest so you can't go wrong.
