Winning Judo offers realistic and practical instruction for success in competitive judo. Written for both beginner and experienced athletes, author Steve Scott shares the skills you need to be successful at all levels of competitive judo.

Judo is based on sound principles of movement and biomechanics. Understanding how and why a technique works or doesn't work provides a solid advantage when under stress in competition. With over 450 photographs, Steve will explain the proper ways to exploit:
- Success with throws
- Managing transitions and defences
- Aggressive defences that win matches
- Ground fighting and breaking down your opponent
- Defending against and initiating armlocks
- Chokes and strangles
To be successful in judo, athletes and their coaches need clear objectives and informed knowledge of what to do during the ever-changing dynamics of a judo match. Steve Scott has developed and coached many competitors to championships at World, Pan American, and Olympic judo teams. Written by popular demand, he brings his lifetime of experience in one authoritative and focused book on winning in competitive judo.
