"There have been many books on judo--some highly competent, others
well-written or well-illustrated, some fit for beginners, others
for the advanced student. To have all these in a single volume is
unusual."--San Francisco Chronicle The Art and Science of Judo is a
revealing Japanese martial arts manual that focuses primarily on
the scientific principles at work in Judo. In this book,
highly-respected Judo instructors Jiichi Watanabe and Lindy Avakian
delve deeply into the mechanics of Judo, offering clear-cut
scientific explanations for the numerous techniques involved in
throwing and grappling. By understanding the science behind the
art, you will become prepared to perform the right moves at the
right time and successfully meet the challenge of responding to
your opponent. The book has over 200 illustrations and 40 photos
which show the forces that are employed when performing common Judo
throwing and grappling moves such as hip throws, foot sweeps,
collar holds, and many more. In addition to the precise
explanations of judo's physical aspects, you'll also find detailed
insights into the psychological factors related to judo's
underlying philosophy. Topics include: How dynamics are applied to
Judo The three principles for practicing Judo The three laws of
motion and how they apply to Judo Different kinds of force found in
Judo techniques How to effectively practice throwing and grappling
A new foreword by Judo instructor Neil Ohlenkamp offers insight on
the book's importance as a resource for every Judo practitioner and
instructor. The Art and Science of Judo is a fascinating and
valuable work, which will help you achieve success by not only
understanding what techniques to master but also why they work and
when to use them.
