The book concludes with chapters on Women's Judo, Junior Judo, Judo Kata, and the progression through the gradings, syllabus work and rules of Judo contests, finishing with a heopful visual glossary of referees' signals.

All you need to know to perform within the syllabus of any Judo organization.
