Summary: Disappointing
Review: I picked up this book as a brand new Judo student looking for tips and techniques, and I was very disappointed. This book goes over only 3 throws, 3 chokes, and 1 pin technique. There are no escapes, no counters, and no reversals. There is some okay general information on Judo history, competition, refereeing, etc, but I need to learn the basics before I worry about how to be a referee.

Summary: OK general JUDO book, but it isn't about the GRIPPING
Review: This is a general overview of judo and is OK at that. It is not for someone looking for great depth in the very specific sub-division of judo involving the theory and practice of various gripping techniques.
