Description:

This book is a must-have for martial artists, grapplers, and especially judo players. "Jiu-Jutsu or Jiu-Do" was originally printed in 1918 by an early Kodokan-trained judo master. As such, it offers the best English-language view of Kodokan judo as practiced in the early days of Jigoro Kano's famous judo school. Included are the fundamentals of balance and posture as well as the throws, locks, and chokes still seen in judo today. Also included are techniques since banned in modern judo competitions, such as leglocks and atemi (strikes). This volume serves as an excellent introduction to judo and jujutsu as well as a resource for more advanced students to learn the banned techniques no longer practiced. This reprint of an extremely rare volume of judo is sure to please any martial arts enthusiast.
