Judo Self-Defence kata

Judo Self-Defence Kata is a comprehensive work on the self-defence kata of Judo: the Kime-no-kata and the Kodokan Goshin-jutsu. Together, these kata teach the fundamental principles of self-defence and provide models for defending against various attacks. The book also includes brief introductions to the lesser-known Judo kata, Kime-shiki and Joshi Goshinho. These four kata feature techniques belonging to Judo that are prohibited in competitive matches, such as strikes, kicks, and wrist locks.
The book contains over 800 photographs and illustrations that demonstrate the execution of Kime-no-kata and Kodokan Goshin-jutsu according to the latest Kodokan and IJF models. In addition, the text covers the principles that should be followed in self-defence situations and explains what makes techniques effective.
