If Judo ever made it as a physical activity in High School or College, this would be the 'textbook'. Very well written, with alot of detail, excellent photos, and much historical information. Somewhat more oriented toward competition Judo THE JUDO TEXTBOOK, a comprehensive manual for the beginning judoka, differs from Ohara's other how-to manuals by being much more than a picture book. While it does contain the customary techniques section, additional text has been devoted to auxiliary training methods, guidance in how to plan competitive strategy, a discussion of the International Judo Federation's recently updated rules and a thorough coverage of judo history and philosophy. Laid out in a clear, straightforward manner, its format is similar to numerous history and social science textbooks, and for that reason we feel that it should be accessible to students from junior high through college. Amply supplied with information and rich in anecdote, each chapter is followed by a series of suggestions and practical applications. Two brief review quizzes follow each chapter. The Test Yourself quizzes encourage the student to reread the material not thoroughly understood in the first reading and also serve to provide topics for class discussion. The True or False questions are intended to assist the instructor in devising whatever is deemed necessary in the way of periodic written tests. Coauthors Hayward Nishioka, fifth-degree black belt, and Jim West, second-degree black belt, are to be congratulated on their excellent overview of sport judo. They have fashioned an ideal textbook by taking the reader slowly but thoroughly through the basics and planting him considerably down the road toward achieving a black belt.
