Japanese Judo Champions

Japanese Judo Champions: Their Methods and Techniques originally written in 1960 is a study of several Japanese Judo masters of that time period and their specific approaches to the sport of Judo.
Claude Thibault (a French champion Judoka himself) brings together the greatest athletes of that time period as they discuss and document their favorite competition techniques.

Along with over 180 photographs each technique is carefully explained and the advantage/disadvantage of their use in competition is explored.

A fascinating addition to any martial arts library.
