Louis Arpin

The Complete Guide to Judo is simpley that-the book begins with the origins of the martial art known as the way of gentleness and porceeds through all the standing and ground techniques.

This carefully-written handbook, by one of Canada's experts in the martial arts will prove to be invaluable to anyone interested in the sport. The book is generously illsutrated with photographs of every technique.

Mr. Arpin is a producer of sports and general programs for the CBC television network. His involvement in sports includes writing-he has three books to his credit-and editorial responsibility-he is a general editor of sports publications for Les Editions de l'Homme.
