Book Reviews of The Canon of Judo: Classic Teachings on Principles and Techniques
Book Review: A must read, and One of the top three required
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is an absolute must read; and for those serious students and practitioners, a must own.
No matter that it is an older book with not the best photography--for grappling's sake--the book is written by a legend, Mifune, himself. Doesn't get any better than that.
If one really wants a deeper understanding of grappling and martial arts in general and the specifics of Judo, then one needs to somehow procure this manual and keep it often for reference.
This and the other two top Judo books need to be periodically taken off the shelf and studied, re-read and studied some more in between going to the mats for daily practice. The book is great motivation for those driven intrinsically, and if one continues to study this manual, eventually new truths unfold and become apparent.
This is book that one uses for a life-time, and is not for a one time read. Get it; own it and keep studying it as much as you go to the mats and "play," which should be everyday in someway or another.
