Adaptive Judo: Throwing, Grappling and Striking: Goddard Method

Judo is more than just throwing and grappling.

- It is helpful for a healthy mind and body.

- It can be described as the science of applying manual handling and origami on people.

- In an emergency it can be a useful aid for self-defence.

You can gain self-confidence and transferable skills for other disciplines such as ball games and dancing (sometimes known as fundamental movement skills).

This book is for beginners and experienced judo practitioners [judokas].

Inside this book you will find guidance on:

- Strikes and blocks.

- Throws.

- Kata.

- Holding techniques.

- Limb locking techniques.

- Strangles/chokes.

Other books concentrate on the technical side of judo, whereas my book emphasises the pattern/spirit in clear illustrations and easy-to-remember key points, including a variety of applications.

Most of this book is suitable for children and adults. Techniques are from the adult judo syllabus. Chapter 6 locking and strangling techniques are not shown in class to children under 12.
