HE REAsoN for the increasing popularity of judo
all over the world since it became apaft of the
Olympics in Tokyo, 1964, lies certainly in ilt
dyiraåically powerful techniques and in the heroic
siirring baiehanded throws. Though, of course, the
deepei aim of judo is now and always will be the
perfection of the human being, its relatively easy-to-
master combat techniques and the possibility of ap-
plying those techniques to daily self-defense atttact
more and more followers.
For thoroughness of treatment of both the tech-
niques and thlir deeper meanings against u
.b1"k-
ground of judo's growing popularity, this book has
no peers. Here are some of the reasons why':
i ffr. author Kaztzo Kudo (Kodokan 9th dan),
as the sole living person to have received instruc-
tions directly fiom Jigoro Kano, the founder
of judo, is passing on the orthodox tradition and
advancing the progress of modern judo by training
such brifiant young stars as Toshio Daigo, Koji
Sone, Isao Inokumå, Akio Kaminaga, Seiji Saka-
guchi, Mitsuo Matsunaga, and A. Geesink. This
6ook represents the culmination of fifty years of
teaching experience involving the flnest names in
judo.
I The explanatory texts cover the techniques
thoroughly, case by case, clause by clause, as
meticulously as a legal document. Series photo-
g- raphs back up and clarify the explanations.
Only a man who knows the techniques completely
and who has mastered their very inner meanings
could write a book like this one. This is why
Dynamic Judo is impossible to top.
f This book includes the 64 throwing techniques
and all of their variant application methods, which
bring the total to over 100 techniques. Of course,
num6er alone is nothing to brag about. The real
value of the explanations lies in the equal depth and
thoroughness with which all of them are ,analyzed
and all of their essential meanings brought to the
surface.
I One of the book's most important features is
If
its treatment of series techniques and variations.
one technique does not work properly, the thing t-o
do is to uså another and another in succession. If
an opponent attacks with a particular technique,
you ååunter attack with a variation. This book
bffets outstanding series-photograph examples of
-
series techniques and variations carefully culled
from fifty yea?s of attendance at judo matches.
I Dyna-mic Judo comes in a complete two-volume
set. Volume I contains the throwing techniques that
anyone starting out on a judo career must master,
unå Volu-e Ii concentratås on the more advanced
g" rap^pflninJgu gtehc hniques.
i naturally the original text was in Japa-
nese, the iranslator, Richard L. Gage, has made
careful renditions of all judo terminology into easy-
to-understand English that will set a new standard-

preface
In Japanese we have a proverb that when translated into English comes
fait'ly close to, "AIl things come to him who waits," and at løst, through
the extreme kindness and generosity of the Japan Publications Trading
Co,, I am able to realize my long-time dream af publishing a work on
.iudo in a language other than my own. Certainly, however, this pub'
lishing firm made every effort to assist me out of atlmiration for my
ow,n individual worth alone, but because of thelr wish to contribute to
the.future correct warldwide dissemination of iudo and to its progress.
[n eilher words, The Japan Publications Trading Co. resolved to make
this cotttribulion, through judo, to w'orld culture because of its sense
of mission. I am very grateful to thern.for all their help in seeing this
my life's w*ork to completiort. I have come to consider tltem all my
close friends.
Our origtnal intention was to fit all of Dynamic Judo into one
volume, but soon after we began work we found that at least two
yolumes w*ould be necessqry. Although, in fact, even two volumes are
crarnped, I am sure our readers wfll underslund lhat we have chosen
the most expedient course.
We feel sure that Dynarnic Judo is not only the frst of its kind
but the best of its kindfor years t0 come. The secret behind our success
in turning out so fine a u,ork in only a few months is the youth and
energy of the tw*ct models who served us unfailingly tn long photography
sessions, Tetsuya Sato (sixth dan) ønd Tsuyoshi Sato (ffth dan).
I u'islt to tltank both o-f these men sincerelyfor allthey have done. I also
w*ish to express my gratitude to Soshichi Toyoshima *-ho was in charge
af the production of the book and whose €nthusiastic and unfagging
elforts ultimately brought out wark to a suc.cessful conclusion, Just as
in .iudo the preparations step ønd the actual move of the technique
must be v,holey integrated, so in work on this brtok, the preparations
anrl all the other phases ft together without a single gøp.
Finally I would like to thank The Kodokan and Risei Kano for
their leadership and help and Toshiro Daigo (seventh dan) and all of
I
the other.fantolts young judo men who cooperated with us. **ill never
forget all of their kindness.
