This work has been prodeuced to meet the very real need for an authoritative manual to assist the more experienced judoka. Counter throws and combination techniques are examined in detail and each movement is clearly illustrated by informative photographs. In addition much practical advice is given on the theory of judo, showing how individual performances can be improved.

Self-defence has been taken to an advanced stage; and this will allow many people who are interested in the subject to examine the deadly methods of Karate and Atemi. All the defences demonstrated have been proved to be really effective. Of particular interest is a chapter devoted to defence with a walking stick or umbrealla. These techniques will be of value to ladies and those who require an efficient, simple system of protection which does not require the many months of study needed to obtain proficiency in judo.

Judo instruction is an art in itself and a chapter is devoted to the actual method of instruction, together with a suggested syllabus. There is advice, too, on the running and organization of a club or class.
This is not just another judo book but a much-needed volume which may quickly establish itself as a standard work.
