Black Belt: Judo Skills and Techniques

Education & Reference Health & Medicine Sport & Recreation

Neil Ohlenkamp’s Black Belt: Judo Skills and Techniques is a generously illustrated hardcover that walks judoka from first bow to advanced throws. Clear step-by-step photography and concise coaching make this 2006 New Holland textbook a favourite for adults and teens who want textbook-level detail without classroom dryness.

The 160-page guide balances sport fundamentals with practical self-defence, strength drills and competition etiquette, so it works as both a dojo reference and a solo refresher. Every technique is flagged for common errors and safety cues, giving beginners confidence and giving instructors a ready lesson plan.

This copy shows the usual shelf love of a well-used manual—edge scuffs and slight cover rubs—but pages remain crisp, unmarked and tightly bound. No inscriptions, ex-library stamps or smoke odours; just a clean, ready-to-roll training partner for your martial-arts shelf.

A durable addition for judo practitioners, fitness fans and self-improvement readers hunting an affordable, illustrated martial-arts resource.
