"There have been many books on judo--some highly competent, others
well-written or well-illustrated, some fit for beginners, others
for the advanced student. To have all these in a single volume is
unusual…[The Art and Science of Judo] is such a book." --San
Francisco Chronicle
"For the teacher or the serious student of judo who desires to know
the 'why' of what he does, this book is a must." -- Journal of the
Association for Physical and Mental Rehabilitation
"I found this book to be invaluable and would recommend it for
anyone who's interested in grappling arts generally (whether judo
or not) or even the science of human movement." --Bernie Gourley
