A Pragmatic and Useful Manual of Judo Newaza November 9, 2004

Straight to the point and informative, the book: 'OLYMPIC JUDO: Ground Work Techniques' (c. 1986) by Neil Adams & Cyril Carter, is a useful compilation of eight proven newaza techniques used by Neil Adams, a 1981 World Judo Champion, in 95 pages with clear black & white photographs.
'OLYMPIC JUDO: Ground Work Techniques' demonstrated entry methods into matwork, such as tai-otoshi into juji-gatame (p. 18); or Seoi-nage into Sode Goruma [sic] jime (p. 78). The book also demonstrated on page twelve the 'Rolling juji-gatame' the variation (kazure) on juji-gatame which the author used to win his 1981 World Championship.
Clearly demonstrating eight techniques with several variations and combinations from tachi-waza in a professional and objective manner, 'OLYMPIC JUDO: Ground Work Techniques' is an unusually instructive manual on matwork by a gifted Newaza practitioner. Chapter Seven, Variations on strangles, is particularly worth studying; and this insightful manual also contained two full chapters on Sankaku-jime and its variations.
World Judo Champion and author, Neil Adams, in his book: 'OLYMPIC JUDO: Ground Work Techniques' has produced a very good informative manual on Judo matwork and shared detailed descriptions of eight of his Tokui Waza which helped him become a successful Judo competitor. As a good Newaza companion to this work, please read: FIGHTING JUDO (c. 1985) by Katsuhiko Kashiwazaki, for further knowledge on the effectiveness of Judo matwork.
