The vast array of judo techniques has branched out into three distinct categories: throwing techniques, grappling techniques, and striking techniques. Of these, throwing techniques (\u003cem\u003enage-waza\u003c\/em\u003e) represent some of the most dynamic and compelling aspects of this world-famous martial art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecent developments in competition (\u003cem\u003eshiai\u003c\/em\u003e) and free practice (\u003cem\u003erandori\u003c\/em\u003e) have seen an increase in the number of forms of \u003cem\u003enage-waza\u003c\/em\u003e, leading to often confusing interpretations of the techniques' names. The purpose of this book, therefore, is to provide a comprehensive and correct classification of \u003cem\u003enage-waza\u003c\/em\u003e terminology as used in both competition and practice. All the sixty-seven official Kodokan throwing techniques and their various forms are explained thoroughly and concisely, and over 1,800 photographs accompany the text to provide the reader with the most comprehensive guide to judo's throwing forms to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor many years author Toshiro Daigo has held the prestigious position of chief instructor at the Kodokan, regarded as the mecca for all judo enthusiasts, and this book is the result of painstaking research into the constantly changing forms of judo's \u003cem\u003enage-waza\u003c\/em\u003e. It will be an invaluable resource for practitioners everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596739330284,"sku":"9781568365770","price":105.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/a12f56617cda5c683f6b7fd0c1d63ddc.jpg?v=1777946930","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/kodokan-judo-throwing-techniques-by-toshiro-daigo-9781568365770","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
