Judo Techniques & Tactics

The book was in good condition. It was cheap priced and well worth the wait because of the condition it was in. Thank you.

Good intro to Judo book

I am a Jiu Jitsu practitioner, but I was looking for a book to improve my take down game. Decent intro level book. Good written info. I would have liked more pictures and more info on details of the movements.

Nice Judo book, easy to follow and great pictures

This is a great book, and you're getting it right from the source, three-time Olympian Jimmy Pedro. This book provides you with a background of the sport and the essential maneuvers for success. I bought it for my son, it has most of the training guidelines to build a strong foundation for moving on to advanced judo techniques.

Good judo overview with lots of tips

Olympic medalist Jimmy Pedro has written a 175 page book filled with good information. He starts with the history of Judo, goes on to the language and customs, before heading into the techniques. Very concise but well written technique sections , with both English and Japanese terminology. Good book for novices and insights for advanced ranks. Pictures used for illustration are clear (my one gripe with Kano's Kodokan Judo. The book covers all of judo broadly but people looking for insights into certain techniques would prefer Ippon's master class series.
