Very Well Done Book On Executing Judo Techniques Without A Gi For MMA:
Having a bit of Judo experience myself, I was more than slightly interested in what the author was going to present in his book. Needless to say, I was not surprised nor was I disappointed. In fact I was really impressed with the quality of material that was provided in this book.

great:
im a judoka and this book is one of the best available. it reminds all judoka to stop relying on the gi. the techniques are completely different from anything ive ever see before. also ive never seen such detail in a martial arts book. you literally get 3 camera angles for most techniques. the only thing i would say is if you dont have any judo experience you'll problably have trouble with this book, this is not basic judo.
