Although It Isn't Perfect, This Is A Very Well Done Book November 25, 2008
Shawn Kovacich (The Greatest Little City in the World)
The author does a very good job here in presenting a wide variety of different throws and takedowns with a lot of good photographs and detailed explanations in order to demonstrate the various techniques. Although I would add that in some places there could have been a bit more detailed explanations to go along with the photographs. However, that is a minor issue and in no way takes away from the solid work that the author has done with this book.
Here are the primary sections that are presented in this book.
1. Core Skills
2. Lifting Throws
3. Pick Ups and Leg Grabs
4. Knee Drop Throws
5. Leg Hooks and Sweeps
6. Body Drops and Over Body Throws
The author does attempt to cover a wide array of techniques in this single volume, and even though no one single technique is really explained in a detailed and in-depth manner, the author does manage to convey a great deal of information about each technique presented. If you are looking for a book or books that focus on a single throwing or takedown technique, I would recommend any of the books in the Judo Masterclass series, of which here are a few of them.
Pick-ups (Judo Masterclass Techniques)
Tai-otoshi (Judo Masterclass Techniques)
Osaekomi (Masterclass Series)
