We are grateful to Mr. John Newman, teacher at the Renshuden Judo Club, for making a more vigorous and determined opponent than the lay figure of so many Judo books; thanks also go to Mr. T. Kawamura for the pictures in Section 21, and to Mr. George Kerr, teacher at the Renshuden, and to the members of the Club for help and suggestions.

THE AUTHORS

(1964)

1. How to Build Up Attacking Movement

One purpose of this book is to explain how to build up attacks on Taiotoshi and its main partner Ouchigari, but you can use the method in learning how to master any main throw. Read the whole book quickly once, and then repeatedly run through the flicker at the top right from page 79 backwards to page 27. Then you should have a rough idea of Taiotoshi and Ouchi, and of the spirit of Judo movement.

Your Judo progress depends on three main things : free practice (and contest); formal practice of the movements; study. Get first a rough idea of the movement and keep trying it vigorously and enterprisingly in free practice; don’t fuss too much with detail at this stage. Taiotoshi is called in Japan a ‘choshi-waza’, which means that timing and rhythm are all-important. One day your opponent will go down when you hardly realize you have thrown him, and this will give you an idea of what the throw really is. Study is to help you understand the principles of the throw; formal practice is to help you to begin to ‘feel’ the movement.
