In addition to a discussion of traditional methods of resuscitation, the book concludes with a useful appendix of information on the founder and the Kodokan International Judo Center, and a glossary of judo terminology. Fully illustrated throughout, Kodokan Judo will help students and instructors everywhere to discover the principles, techniques, and spirit of this popular martial art.

Esse livro, da autoria do criador do Judô Kodokan, é o guia mais abrangente e abalizado já escrito sobre essa arte marcial. Mais de cem anos atrás, Jigoro Kano dominava a arte do manejo da espada e do combate sem armas. Sem conseguir encontrar nenhum princípio por trás dessas técnicas, ele se dispôs a criar uma nova arte marcial que refletisse o conceito de eficiência máxima no uso da energia física e mental. Os conceitos e técnicas de judô ensinados hoje em dia na Kodokan são os originalmente criados por Jigoro Kano e foram todos reunidos nesse livro. Abrangendo desde as técnicas básicas até os exercícios formais pré-estabelecidos para homens e mulheres, Judô Kodokan oferece explicações detalhadas de como as técnicas são combinadas em dois tipos de prática: randori (prática livre) e kata (prática das formas). Além de um capítulo sobre os métodos tradicionais de ressuscitação, no final do livro é apresentado um apêndice muito útil, com informações sobre o autor e o Centro Internacional de Judô da Kodokan, e também um glossário com os termos mais usados no judô. Ricamente ilustrado, Judô Kodokan é um excelente aliado dos alunos e instrutores que desejam conhecer a fundo os princípios, as técnicas e o espírito dessa tão popular arte marcial.
