Higher Judo: Groundwork

Wonderfull relatively short yet rich book investigating the movements, skills and techniques involved with effective and efficient ground work in Judo. Beautifully covers principles and theory of movement and weaves specific techniques and situations together into a must have must read publication for anyone interested in the subject of movement, attack defence and understanding the human body as pertains to ground fighting.Contains clear dynamic illustrations that bring to life the dense yet easy to read text.A gem from the past rellevant today and for the future.

I had an original of this but it was lost in a move. I am glad to find this as it's one of the best old school jiu jitsu books and has a legend for the author.

informative, nice pictures.

Outstanding book old school martial arts text. Nothing new this old text has most of it.

All the techniques I learnt over 25 years in judo and ju-jitsu, and more. Analysing even the simple techniques like this improves all techniques and spatial awareness. Co-ordination is improved enormously for young and old alike. With this groundwork even the unfit can change their lives, improve co-ordination, spinal movement, awareness of what we can actually do with every part of the body. It means a better future and more longevity for me, I am in no doubt about that. Every muscle in the body can be re-enlivened with groundwork training to improve walking, posture and well being.

Great book, the level of detail in the explanations of how and why are far beyond that of any judo book ive read. This is a real treasure that if you can get you can get a copy i recommend that you do so.

good product, fast delivery

The drawings were better than I thought they would be. In depth on the basics of ne waza. Oh, do I wish he would have made another book on tachi waza.

Für die die gerne über den Tellerrand schauen super.

As a groundwork fan and novice Judoka, I found this book very interesting and really useful on the mat! I have refered back to it and re-read it several times. The line drawings are good quality and the descriptions are very good. This book has what can only be described as some'old school' moves in it which are frowned upon now on a Judo mat but have been useful in Wrestling. The historical element to the book is also interesting and Moshe Feldenkrais was certainly a fascinating character who was involved with some good instructors ! Top Book.

I never knew about his involvement in judo,

Fantastic book!!! teaches the true essence of martial Arts Thanks Moshe
