Book Reviews of Judo Unleashed: Essential Throwing & Grappling Techniques for Intermediate to Advanced Martial Artists
Book Review: Great for starting out.
Summary: 5 Stars
Unleashed is an overrated word, nothing too technically difficult. I'm new in Judo, but not to martial arts and grappling. I found the breakdown of the basics very helpful and the fundamentals are well explained also, coupled with the excellent pictures the book is a must have for any martial artist. So even though its not "unleashed" I still give it a full 5 stars for its content.Book Review: Judo Simple
Summary: 4 Stars
This book offers a great guide for a martial art student to understand. It is really good for understanding the mechanics needed for "throws." The pictures in the book are great. NOTE: NO martial art should be tried without the supervision of a trained professionalBook Review: Keiko
Summary: 5 Stars
Good book for the serious practioner, aids for analizing the technikes of judo, which should be practiced with a good instructor anyway.Book Review: Learn the art of judo whether you're training for competition or preparing for the black belt

Book Review: Not as billed...
Summary: 3 Stars
This is simply not a book for advanced judoka, and likely will be old hat to the intermediates. While this text is probably one of the most visually appealing in terms of photos and layouts, many of the photos are simply fluff (tomoe-nage in the surf? Seriously?) The treatment of the various techniques is no more advanced than good ol' Kodokan Judo, and sometimes less so. I guess from the title (and the reputation of the author) I was expecting something more along the lines of the Masterclass series, not another rehash of the basics.
