Description

A worthy addition to any martial arts library."Jiu-Jutsu Or Jiu-Do: Selection from Kodokwan Method" was originally printed in 1918 by an early Kodokan-trained judo master. As such, it offers a unique view into the early days of Jiu-Jutsu, training methods, techniques, and applications that still hold true today. Included are the fundamentals of balance and posture as well as the throws, locks, and chokes that are still as effective today as when originally conceived. Also included are techniques since banned in modern judo competitions, such as leglocks and atemi (strikes). This book includes over 80 original illustrations and has been reformatted for easy reading on e-readers and tablets.
