Teach Yourself Judo

While I admit I am not a judoka,I bought this book as a teen when I first became interested in martial arts/self-defense.This book was among the first I aquired,and I read it many times.For the time that it was written,it serves the purpose of introducing the principles and basics of judo to the reader.Of course it does not replace hands on instruction,but when I bought the book,there were no clubs or instructors in my area.As a side note,I also wrote to Mr. Dominy several times with questions,and he was extremely helpful and supportive in his answers to me,and I will always appreciate the time he took to help me out!
