Overview

The Judo Instructor seeks to explain the basic requirements for the Judoka seeking promotion through the Kyu grades to the First Kyu (Brown Belt). Performance in contest, which is also required, can only be gained by personal experience on the tatami. Mere knowledge of the subject matter alone is not enough-application of that knowledge is the criterion of skill. It is analogous to reading and studying music and being judged by your skill on the instrument. It is a matter of interpretation and application; quality, not quantity. In this book, through a series of 14 lessons, covers most Judo techniques that the student will need to be familiar with. From Lesson 1 concerning balance, body positioning, leverage and lessons in basic breakfalls through Lesson 14 covering more complicated throws and take-downs, the techniques are explained in detail and illustrated with nearly 100 illustrations to convey the proper application of techniques.
