When I first read it, I was a brown belt aspiring to a dan grade and it made an enormous difference to my personal understanding of judo.

More importantly, the effect of the book stayed with me for years, and proved to be a direct inspiration for the foundation of the Judo Masterclass series published by Ippon Books. Looking back at Tai-Otoshi and O-Uchi-Gari Attacks, I wonder whether any judo book will be able to match it for sheer clarity, purpose and understanding.

In the end, this book is a model not just for two specific throws but for all our judo training. I cannot commend it to you more highly.

Introduction

The main aim of this book is to introduce the reader to general attacking Judo movement, using as examples the throws which are centred round Taiotoshi. We are trying to convey something of the spring and dash of a good Judo attacker; for this purpose the camera strips are not a series of individually posed pictures but are stages of one and the same continuous movement.
