Reviews
I first trained with Steve Scott when I was training to win the Missouri State Championships, and then the U.S. Junior Nationals, U.S. Senior Nationals, U.S. Open and World Championships. He knows matwork like God knows the Bible. No matter your level of experience, from white belt to white-haired sensei, you'll learn something from this book. -Dr. AnnMaria Rousey De Mars, World & Pan American Games Judo Champion, U.S. National Judo Champion, U.S. Olympic Festival Champion, 7th Degree Black Belt
