After showing how to fall without injury, the author introduces most of the popular throws that make judo so spectacular. The main groundwork holds are also demonstrated, and competition rules and grading systems explaned. There is even a chapter on Japan, where judo originated, and the Japanese.
Lavishly illustrated wth technical photographs as well as competition shots of the champions, Judo for Juniors is not only practical, but informal and fun.
