Classical Judo
Mifune’s ‘The Canon of Judo’ is an outstanding work and certainly joins Kano’s ‘Kodokan Judo’ as an essential book for all Judoka.

The Canon of Judo: Classic Teachings on Principles and Techniques
This is an excellent book for any Martial Artist’s library. It is right up there with “Kodokan Judo” as a teaching or learning manual.
