Written mainly with the practising Judoka in mind, Judo-the Gentle Way offers not only practical advice to be used on the mat, but also, through chapters such as the Art and Etiquette of Judo, Home Practice and Meditation, shows how the serious approach to Judo should perrmeate every aspect of the Judoka's life. The emphasis is on Judo as art rather than sport, but the authors recognize that competitions are an integral and valuable part of Judo. The book is therefore designed for both contesting Judoka and non-contestants, whether Kyu grades, Dan grades or instructors, and is illustrated thoughout with photographs and drawings.
