Purchase options and add-ons

Throughout the long history of Japan's martial traditions, judo has evolved into one of the nation's richest and most revered cultural legacies. The vast array of judo techniques has branched out into three distinct categories: throwing techniques, grappling techniques, and striking techniques. Of these, throwing techniques (nage-waza) represent some of the most dynamic and compelling aspects of this world-famous martial art.


Recent developments in competition (shiai) and free practice (randori) have seen an increase in the number of forms of nage-waza, leading to often confusing interpretations of the techniques' names. The purpose of this book, therefore, is to provide a comprehensive and correct classification of nage-waza terminology as used in both competition and practice. All the sixty-seven official Kodokan throwing techniques and their various forms are explained thoroughly and concisely, and over 1,800 photographs accompany the text to provide the reader with the most comprehensive guide to judo's throwing forms to date.


For many years author Toshiro Daigo has held the prestigious position of chief instructor at the Kodokan, regarded as the mecca for all judo enthusiasts, and this book is the result of painstaking research into the constantly changing forms of judo's nage-waza. It will be an invaluable resource for practitioners everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this judo book
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2016

Love this judo book, I bought myself a 2nd once i seen that it came back into print again. This goes with me to class every week. I love the detail and the number of variations it throws in for the throwing techniques. This is not however a comprehensive book and will not provide any ground work or kata. This is just Here is Tai Otoshi, Here is the first way, then it will go through key points and some variations. The problem I have with this book as they dont always have pictures lining up with the descriptions and not as many pictures as you would like. So if you are hoping for a picture to sell the throw you will not get that for a lot of the variations. There will be like 1 or 2 per description for most. The descriptions are very details and thorough however can be somewhat confusing at times. It works well to take them step by step with someone. This is a book for students and instructors, I would say mid level judoka and up. I would say it is a good book for beginners but there are better for beginners then this. If you are needing details and variation this will do it for you. If you are looking for easy laid out descriptions that pair with pictures for each step of the way, this is not the book to start with. I highly recommend this book but caution those new to the sport as this was not my go to until I got past sankyu.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kodokan Judo Throwing Techniques...
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2009
Verified Purchase
This book is probably the most detailed I've read on Nage-Waza. As with all of the Kodansha publications, the quality is top notch also. Now, I'm not a judoka, I actually train in the Bujinkan and submission wrestling. I wanted a concise volume of throws as a go-to for minute details. Judo throws are applicable to many arts as they rely on principles instead of style... by that, I mean a hip throw will generally be similar from style to style, with variations being gi, no gi, weapons etc. This book addresses each throw from multiple set ups and includes all variations as accepted by the Kodokan, and importantly (I believe) covers the 'lineage' of most of the techniques from koryu budo, to Kodokan Judo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Espectacular
Reviewed in Spain on February 26, 2022

Después de años de no hacer judo, decidí gastarme los 40 euros que vale este libro (de primeras me parecía dinero, pero decidí arriesgarme):

La calidad es brutal, las hojas están impresas en papel fotográfico, las tapas duras y la imagen en la portada es de calidad. Al coger el libro se nota pesado, de calidad (Un punto muy importante para mí).

La forma en la que está estructurada el libro es muy buena, clasifica las proyecciones por grupos y subgrupos y únicamente he tenido que añadir un par de ellas:

- Kubi nage en el grupo de koshi waza
- Obi tori gaeshi, en el grupo de te waza
- Tama guruma en yoko sutemi waza
- Ude gaeshi, en yoko sutemi waza
- Ko uchi makikomi en you sutemi waza

Dentro de las páginas añaden variaciones sobre cada una de las proyecciones, historias sobre cómo evolucionaron, e incluso imágenes de manuscritos en los que se explicaban las técnicas allá por el siglo XIX.

Lo que más me gusta del libro es que incluye todas las técnicas del Kodokan, no únicamente las que permiten hacer ahora en competición (que es de risa). Sin duda me ayudará a conseguir mi cinturón negro segundo dan!
