Originally published in 1962, "Judo and Self-Defense" is a unique instructional Judo book arranged in two sections: The first 45 lessons of the book completely cover the theory required for the grading examinations up to Black Belt. The next 55 lessons deal with many additional Throws, Continuous Attack, Counter Movements, Standing Defenses, Lesser-known Movements, and Self-defense. All techniques are explained in clear, easy-to-follow language in a step-by-step manner, making this book the ideal study guide for the layman and beginner in the practice of Judo. The many photographs and illustrations clearly demonstrate each movement and throw, enabling the reader to see exactly how the correct position is achieved. One of the finest books on Judo ever published.
