Customer Reviews

Good resource book
Well written,although more directed toward tournament performance. Well worth the price if that's your goal.

For the Advanced Judoka
This book is written by a man who completely understands his field. But Mr. Scott has written for the advanced Judo player. Anyone can benefit from the study of this manual but those with the most experience will gain the most from it.
