Book Reviews of Judo Unleashed: Essential Throwing & Grappling Techniques for Intermediate to Advanced Martial Artists
Book Review: Best Judo techniques out there!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a fantastic introduction to Judo. I have been doing jiu jitsu for 3 years now and I was hoping to increase my throwing knowledge, oh boy is this book a gold mine!!! I highly recommend this book!Book Review: Even my instructor was impressed
Summary: 5 Stars
There are a lot of Judo books out there. Many have bad pictures (the models watching their feet when they step in, their throws when throwing, stuff I'm learning not to do), and do not cover all the basics.
This is a comprehensive book. Solid (the author also runs Judoinfo.com) and complete. Excellent illustrations. Amazon said I could expect to get it in July, my copy from Amazon arrived last Monday and I took it to class. Everyone had positive things to say about it.
Do not let the cover or the title make you think that this book is something it is not. The book is solid, complete and clear. Published in multiple language editions, it is probably the best book you can buy to start a collection of books.
I've been buying the Masterclass books as I could find them (until Neil pointed me to a site that has them all, now I'm buying them as I can afford them) and this book gave me a lot more bang for the buck.
Book Review: Excellent, covers a wide range of techniques, great photos
Summary: 5 Stars
Covers techniques from a wide variety of categories (groundwork, chokes, joint-locks, throws), and the pictures are clear and well-done. I especially like the tips given for each technique, as they often give advice that is essential to making the technique work (foot positioning, where and how to apply kuzushi, what combinations and counters the technique can be combined with/is vulnerable to). A great book, and at a great price too.Book Review: Great New Judo Book for the 21st Century
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like this as a text book for my students. It covers the basics in detail using current technology for photos and diagrams, The overview of judo history and evolution into a popular Olympic sport is explained well with a reverence for it's martial roots. Had I written a book myself it would look a lot like this one.Book Review: Great addition
Summary: 4 Stars
Perhaps this is the book my boys like best! The photos and discriptions are a great addition to classes. Done in such a way as to spark more interrest, I notice this book gets picked up often. Though not overly discriptive, it hits many issues: History, technic, practise, and varied areas of style. Worth the purchase!
