Many books teach the basic throws, locks and holds of classical Kano judo; but this book is probably the only one that analyzes each trick from the point of view of the variables of performance. The author, a well-known teacher as well as a contest judoman of international reputation, draws on his extensive experience in teaching men and women of all degrees of stature, weight and strength. He is therefore able to offer detailed instruction directed to individual judomen of all sizes and statures. How to proceed if you are shorter or taller than your opponent, what tricks are particularly suited to short and tall players - this kind of information is thoroughly presented for each judo contest trick.
