Try these two books from www.amazon.com.
1) Best Judo 2) Kodokan Judo They are two must haves for the serious Judo/Jujitusu player. You can get them dirt cheap if you don't mind a used book.

do you think its possible to learn some bits of judo from one of these books if you have a reasonable understanding of martial arts in general and are not clueless?
i wouldnt mind picking this up and trying one of these books with a couple of friends here. i know books arent ideal and all that but you think they are descriptive enough to be worth a shot? |

for example, here is a half hour video demonstrating all the official throws of judo. you could no doubt practice these with a friend and learn a whole lot. but remember, you need to learn to apply them on a resisting opponent, not just on a friend who is standing there letting himself be thrown. you need to try to learn how to apply these throws during grappling and wrestling. just try pulling off some of the real basic ones with light resistance. build you way up as you get better, but start of very slow and light. i dont know if you have grappling training, but learning breakfalls is a good idea. certainly needed if you want to advance to higher levels of throwing. to do this you need to practice shit like foreward rolls, backwards rolls, cartwheels, handstand to a forward roll, shoulder rolls, shoulder rolls were you slap the ground and try to land on your side to direct the impact away from your vital organs etc.......im getting carried away though. pay attention to how these guys hit the ground. learning it can save you tons of injury in everyday life by saving you from nasty falls etc... http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...arch&plindex=0 a lot can be learned from videos and a good partner. take that anyway you want ![]() |

Good, better, best. Dick is giving good advice but the best way is to have both. Kodokan Judo is the Bible of Judo and can be a good supplement to videos and tapes. Without quality instruction you will just learn to be good. If you want to get better study Best judo and kodokan judo. The best method is to have a qualified instructor, vids and tapes and training partners that you can trust. I got both books for less than $18.00 total and my used copies are damn near mint condition. Good, Better, Best.......take your choice.

You are leaving out the Historical Katas for those serious about Judo.

It's hard to get Rank without doing katas.

i will watch the video and start trying to get it all down. i have no judo schools near me in thailand that i know of and i dont have the time/energy for more classes as i train muay thai fulltime but this can be done if me and my friend can set the pace ourselves, which will be slow and light to start with till we know what we are doing. unfortunately i also have zero interest in doing kata. i want to spar and learn the techniques, thats all. thanks again and thanks hardball as well for the book recomendation, i think i will still get a copy of the book as well for more moves etc. |

It is also hard to get rank if you don't go to a dojo and train under a qualified instructor. The books you listed are good especially for understanding footwork.
