Kodokan Judo Throwing Techniques

Love this judo book, I bought myself a 2nd once i seen that it came back into print again. This goes with me to class every week. I love the detail and the number of variations it throws in for the throwing techniques. This is not however a comprehensive book and will not provide any ground work or kata. This is just Here is Tai Otoshi, Here is the first way, then it will go through key points and some variations. The problem I have with this book as they dont always have pictures lining up with the descriptions and not as many pictures as you would like. So if you are hoping for a picture to sell the throw you will not get that for a lot of the variations. There will be like 1 or 2 per description for most. The descriptions are very details and thorough however can be somewhat confusing at times. It works well to take them step by step with someone. This is a book for students and instructors, I would say mid level judoka and up. I would say it is a good book for beginners but there are better for beginners then this. If you are needing details and variation this will do it for you. If you are looking for easy laid out descriptions that pair with pictures for each step of the way, this is not the book to start with. I highly recommend this book but caution those new to the sport as this was not my go to until I got past sankyu.

Very detailed. Good to review some of the techniques that are not so mainstream as well as ones that are.

As advertised

I purchase this book for my daughter who is taking Judo lessons again. Her instructor is letting her help teaching the little kids. This book is helping her a lot. Hardcovers have better pictures too. Aloha

This book is probably the most detailed I've read on Nage-Waza. As with all of the Kodansha publications, the quality is top notch also. Now, I'm not a judoka, I actually train in the Bujinkan and submission wrestling. I wanted a concise volume of throws as a go-to for minute details. Judo throws are applicable to many arts as they rely on principles instead of style... by that, I mean a hip throw will generally be similar from style to style, with variations being gi, no gi, weapons etc. This book addresses each throw from multiple set ups and includes all variations as accepted by the Kodokan, and importantly (I believe) covers the 'lineage' of most of the techniques from koryu budo, to Kodokan Judo.

This is a great resource for anyone practicing the art of Judo.

Great book to learn names of judo techniques and their dynamics.

Después de años de no hacer judo, decidí gastarme los 40 euros que vale este libro (de primeras me parecía dinero, pero decidí arriesgarme): La calidad es brutal, las hojas están impresas en papel fotográfico, las tapas duras y la imagen en la portada es de calidad. Al coger el libro se nota pesado, de calidad (Un punto muy importante para mí).La forma en la que está estructurada el libro es muy buena, clasifica las proyecciones por grupos y subgrupos y únicamente he tenido que añadir un par de ellas:- Kubi nage en el grupo de koshi waza- Obi tori gaeshi, en el grupo de te waza- Tama guruma en yoko sutemi waza- Ude gaeshi, en yoko sutemi waza- Ko uchi makikomi en you sutemi wazaDentro de las páginas añaden variaciones sobre cada una de las proyecciones, historias sobre cómo evolucionaron, e incluso imágenes de manuscritos en los que se explicaban las técnicas allá por el siglo XIX.Lo que más me gusta del libro es que incluye todas las técnicas del Kodokan, no únicamente las que permiten hacer ahora en competición (que es de risa). Sin duda me ayudará a conseguir mi cinturón negro segundo dan!
