Kodokan Judo Throwing Techniques

A very important new book
Judo has evolved into one of Japan's richest and most revered cultural legacies. There are 3 distinct categories: throwing techniques, grappling techniques, and striking techniques. Of these, the thowing technqiues (nage-waza) represent some of the most dynamic aspect of judo.

An Invaluable Resource for Practitioners Everywhere
Recently through competition, there has been a increase in the number of forms of nage-waza leading to confusing interpretations of the technqiue's names. The purpose of this book, is to provide a comprehensive and correct classification of nage-waza. All 67 official Kodokan throwing techniques and their various forms are explained thoroughly and concisely. Includes over 1800 photographs.

Daigo Sensei for many years has held the most prestigious position of chief instructor at the Kodokan. He was all Japan judo champion 3 times and was the manager of the Japanese judo team at the 1976 and 1984 Games.
