Judo as organized by Kawaishi

The judo I practice is a descendant of the method of the approach to judo devised by Mikonosuke Kawaishi adapted for teaching Europeans and partially documented in his book My Method of Judo (out of print).

One of my old posts includes a summary of Kawaishi's syllabus:

  1. The art of falling: Breakfalls and rolls
  2. Methods of disturbing the opponent's balance
  3. Throwing techniques
    • 15 leg throws
    • 15 hip throws
    • 6 shoulder throws
    • 10 hand throws
    • 15 "sacrifice" throws
  4. Ground-fighting techniques
Check out this web page for a complete listing of the techniques in his book.
