My Judo - Volume 4

About the Book

Volume 4 has the most methods of the complete set. My Judo Counters & Combinations - Volume 4 depicts the martial art not only from a competitor’s point of view, but also from an instructor’s aspect. It religiously follows the teachings of the great architect of Judo, 'Professor Jigoro Kano'—a master who has always tried to expand a Judoka's education and encouraged his students to apply their own minds to inventing new moves and counter moves. In striving to achieve Professor Kano’s aims, one can only begin to understand the true mechanics of the sport of Judo as a self-defense mechanism and, indeed, the creed that underscores this martial art.

About the Author

Since publishing volume 1 in 2011 I have spoken to so many people who have obtained copies of my books and placed them in their dojo for their students to learn from made me relies how fast I will have to complete the remaining volumes. After completing the first three volumes of this great set of counters and combinations books and seeing how easy my students had gained knowledge in combining methods to help them with grading’s and contest, made me very pleased. All the positive feedback I received made it easier to fast track volume 4 and to make sure that all who want to learn are not restricted by time limits. After placing 3rd at the 2014 world masters in Spain seem obvious that even as a teacher I was still a student in learning and perfecting methods to assist me on my way to placing in a much heavier division, thanks to my coach 3 x time world masters champion Kristof Frankowski and his decision to place me in the over 100kgs. As a teacher I understand what it is that Judo has to offer. Like other Judo exponents I have, over the years, had the chance to test my training and skills in many contests such as Judo, Ju-jitsu, caged combat and Pangration, as well as during employment as a personal bodyguard. These extensive experiences have enabled me to produce the compilation of Judo techniques you will find in this volume. What is important in this learning process is for you to be able to visualize Judo techniques and then apply them in a practical manner. Counters and Combinations are hard to come by. I hope you enjoy the techniques in this book and that they entice you to be creative in your own development. May you achieve success in your quest to learn and achieve your goals as a practitioner of the magnificent art of Judo.
