Judo In Action Throwing Techniques

Judo in Action: Throwing Techniques by Kazuzo Kudo is the 1967 English-language classic that judoka trust for clean, step-by-step photos of every major throw. This durable trade paperback distills decades of Kodokan expertise into a compact training partner you can toss in a gym bag.

Inside, Kudo pairs crisp sequences with concise cues, making it easy for young adults and seasoned grapplers alike to sharpen kuzushi, entry, and finish. The book’s logical layout invites quick reference between rounds or during solo footwork drills, turning idle minutes into measurable progress.

This used copy remains tight and unmarked—no notes, no dog ears, no smoky scent—though the cover carries honest scuffing from years of loyal mat-side duty. A faint page spot or two only proves it has been studied, not abused.

Collectors and active students both prize the first edition for its clear photography and durable binding; grab this affordable survivor before it disappears into another judoka’s permanent library.
