NOT THAT GREAT, DEFINITELY NOT COMPREHENSIVE,
By A Customer
This review is from: Techniques Of Judo (Paperback)
I found the book too short. It did not contain all of the throws of encountered in modern Judo. If you are looking for a good Judo book be sure to get one with lots of pictures so you can understand what really should be going on (a picture is worth a 1000 words) This book was really light on the pictures, but heavy on explanations that did not make the move any more clear. As far as an introductory book, I found the book to be unorganized and stop abrubtly without nearly covering chokes and arm lock adequately.

A great Judo text!,
By Walter Reade (Appleton, WI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Techniques Of Judo (Paperback)
This is one of the better (of many) introductory / intermediate Judo books available. "Techniques of Judo" briefly covers the basics (bowing, calisthenics, postures, falling, holding, unbalancing the opponent) and moves on to the core of the book, which is throws. This includes hand throws, hip throws, leg throws, and back and side throws. The four concluding chapters cover grappling techniques, including holds, strangling holds, and armlock techniques.Each technique has about 4 or 5 photographs clearly showing the progression of the move, and 3 to 4 additional photographs showing alternate variations or a counter to the move. What separates this book from the pack is the excellent textual detail that is included with each technique. The authors do a fantastic job of presenting the dynamics associated with proper execution of the throw. The numerous variations and counters included in this text will make it a Judo text with lasting value.

A New Edition of a Classic!,
By Edward F. Burgess, VIII (Camichael, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Techniques Of Judo (Paperback)
The Techniques of Judo by Takagaki and Sharp is a reprint of a very comprehensive and well-written text first published in 1957. It contains some techniques seldom taught in modern practice, such as Ganseki Otoshi and Yama Arashi, and it has extensive notes on counters and defenses. I am a sixth degree, and my highly-prized first edition is well worn with years of research. The contest illustrations are breathtaking examples of flawless technique, and the "flavor" of the book speaks volumes about martial spirit and a style of Judo seldom seen in these days. Harold Sharp is well known for his work on another classic Judo text first published in 1956 with Kiyoshi Kobayashi, entitled The Sport of Judo. Together, they are an impresive compendium of martial information and Judo history. I give the Techniques of Judo to my advanced students, so they won't forget that Judo is a martial art, not just a game.
