NEWAZA: Revealing the Secrets of Kosen Judo Grappling Techniques

Newaza, grappling techniques, developed in early 1900’s (especially kosen-judo*) comprise a valuable aspect of Kodokan Judo. These techniques have been handed down from generation to generation, and constitute a fascinating and rewarding area of study suitable for all practitioners. This book has been designed to provide experienced practitioners with a guide to expanding his or her repertoire of ne-waza from classic to cutting-edge techniques. The authors have endeavored to compile a comprehensive record of methods developed in the past and present, which it is hoped will serve as a source of inspiration for all.
