The A-Z of Judo (Special interest) Paperback – Import, 1 Oct. 1993

By far the best Judo book on the market.An absolute need for grading at every level.This is my second copy as the first was lost when I lent it to someone!Good description and explanation with English and Japanese terminology used.

This book is really well written and fantastic as a technical reference. The pictures are carefully selected and easily convey the techniques used. My only critique and it's not really a critique, I would have liked a description on breakfalling like he did with throwing, locks, holds and chokes.

my son loved it! I put 4 starts because the photos are black and white.

This book does what it says on the tin, basically covers and lists all the judo moves including many moves now banned for competition. Although not so useful for teaching or explaining how the moves could be used, instead the book works as checklist for everything you could or should know in judo.

Fabulous out of print book which is a real gem for any aspiring judoka, my own Sensei had worked with Syd some years before his passing and spoke highly of him.

If you are serious about Judo this is a great book to help you on the journey. I have just used it to assist me in my Technical Dan Grading. It would be good to get together with other to bring this book right up to date.

I own maybe 7-8 books on Judo. This is easily my favorite. The holds and throws are nicely categorized, along with the source from which the move was taken. Also, the book explicitly states which moves are a part of the art of Judo, though banned in competition.

This is the most interesting Judo book I have ever read. Sensei Hoare has put together a truly unique and very informative addition to what has become a bit of an overcrowded market.
