Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Techniques of Judo by Takagaki and Sharp is a reprint of a very comprehensive and well-written text first published in 1957. It contains some techniques seldom taught in modern practice, such as Ganseki Otoshi and Yama Arashi, and it has extensive notes on counters and defenses. I am a sixth degree, and my highly-prized first edition is well worn with years of research. The contest illustrations are breathtaking examples of flawless technique, and the "flavor" of the book speaks volumes about martial spirit and a style of Judo seldom seen in these days. Harold Sharp is well known for his work on another classic Judo text first published in 1956 with Kiyoshi Kobayashi, entitled The Sport of Judo. Together, they are an impresive compendium of martial information and Judo history. I give the Techniques of Judo to my advanced students, so they won't forget that Judo is a martial art, not just a game.
