The Judo Advantage Controlling Movement with Modern Kinesiology For all Grappling Styles Martial Science Steve Scott Jim Bregman Bruce Toups 9781594396281 Books Reviews

• I think this book has something to offer to judo players, but with someone with a fair amount of kineseology knowledge I was expecting a little more kineseology in the book based on the title. I would have like more of "Technique X works well because is sets the player up in hip flexion allowing a powerful hip extension driven by the glutes to throw the partner." Or "a common fault for Technique Y is to allow Z to happen which reduces the effectiveness of the lats for throwing." There is some, for example a good explanation of the importance of ankle flexion for outer sweeps, just more nerdy info is what I was looking for.
  
  The book gets into force generation and rotational aspects of judo, which is really kinematics, not kineseology. So overall I thought it was maybe a 3.5-4 star read, but with the misleading title I give it 3.
• Content focuses more on vocabulary than substance. This is a subject ripe for explanation and description. Steve Scott does not convey his expertise in this area the book is a miss.
• Just a few pages in, I knew this work was special. Steve Scott has a masterful ability of articulating ideas that others find difficult to express, then lead us into those ah-ha moments of realization. His depth and breadth of knowledge of the culture, philosophy, mechanics and application artfully combine with his ability to atomize concepts. His instructional prowess has produced a classic that every instructor and upper level student must read - and re-read. Not just for the grappling arts, the value of this book far exceeds its price. Thank you, Steve!
• Seller extremely prompt and good. Great definition. Readable for beginners and Instructors. An important adition to Judo competency.
• Steve Scott presents a simple yet profound approach to teaching the principles of Judo that will give all martial artists an advantage in their art and sport competition as well as in life. As a judo Sandan and Jiu Jitsu black belt I find it not only confirms what I know works but also adds to my arsenal of teaching tools and reminds me of the important concepts of judo and why it works.
• The author broke down the scientific principles related to performing the techniques of Judo. This is a very good book. I highly recommend it. This answers the how and why.
• Whether you are an experienced judoka or an aspiring beginner, this book is a must-have! No matter how much you think you already know, you will gain A LOT of knowledge from this book. The way Steve Scott breaks down each facet of movement and its importance in functional judo technique is a gift to any martial artist. I have added this book to my already large selection of books by Steve Scott, as should every serious judo practitioner.
• As a coach of several grappling sports (wrestling, judo, BJJ), the information in this book is invaluable. I wish a book with this information existed 30 years ago when I began wrestling. A must have book for any level of coach.
