This book is the best guide to learning jiu-jitsu that has ever been written in English. It has long been recognized as the most comprehensive study in the field, and th Encyclopaedia Britannica refers to it as an outstanding work. It describes the complete system of 160 holds and throws, including the most spectacular ones. Holds and throws are illustrated with as many action photos as are necessary to make them entirely clear, with 487 photos in all, more than any other such book. A full text explains and analyzes leverage, weight centers, pressure ponts, dangers, special tricks, balance, and other important matters.
The book has three sections. The first gives you 60 throws and holds; in the second you see how to apply advantages gained from them; section three concentrates on methods of attack. You learn how to fall properly, how to free yourself from almost any sort of front or back grip, how to avoid being choked, how to react to attempted punches-in short, how to protect yourself from almost any manner of attack though your attacker may have the initial advantage of strength and surprise.
'Kano' is the official, most authentic form of Judo, the true Japanese version developed by Professor Jiguro Kano of Tokyo in the late 19th century. It is not to be confused with the many American imitations which are often sold under the name of Judo.
