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

    Each page has about six pictures showing progressions of the various techniques. Some pages have four pictures and some have eight or nine.

    A excellent book written by the “God of Judo”. I bought this book together with Dr. Jigoro Kano book “Kodokan Judo”.

    Great Classic and Modern refference.
    When I saw this book at the bookstore I flipped through it and, even though it was a little pricy, I had to have it.

    An excellent supplement to any Judo library. Mifune is a true master that provides valuable insight into the details of proper technique.

    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.
