About
Starting with training and preparation, this book goes on to describe nage-waza (throwing techniques), kaeshi-waza (counter-attacks) and renzoku-waza (combination techniques) and is aimed at middle to high grade students. Osae-komi-waza (hold downs) and kansetsu-waza (joint techniques) are then fully explained and illustrated. Further chapters are devoted to contest judo, including referees' signals, kata and the treatment of injuries. There is also a useful glossary which, in addition to English translations of Japanese terminology, includes the phonetic pronunciation of each word. Brian Caffary became a black belt (1st Dan) in 1967 and was 4th Dan by 1985 and Des Marwood is a 1st Dan.
