Personal Review: The Canon of Judo: Classic Teachings on
Principles and Techniques by Kyuzo Mifune
Each page has about six pictures showing progressions of the various
techniques. Some pages have four pictures and some have eight or nine.
Description headings include: Description, Practice, Important Points,
Caution and Remarks. It starts with judo fundamental principles and
etiquette and progresses to posture, exercises, falls and breaking of
balance. The book continues to descriptions of practice and philosophy.
After the first fifty pages, forty pages of throws, ten pages each of
grappling and strangling are followed by another ten pages of counters and
defenses. Fifteen pages of joint locks follow with seven pages of ground

strategy. Then twenty four pages of defensive and counter techniques for
throws with multiple counters or defenses per throw lead into a brief
discussion of modification of technique and adapting to circumstances and
several pages of more specialized techniques. A few pages of counter
techniques for practice are finally followed by methods to revive the
injured.
All in all, this is one of the very best books on martial arts I have seen. It
belongs in every martial artist's head, but you have to read it and practice it
to get it there.
