CIntroduction
Why a book with so many named judo techniques? Firstly, most people in judo wish to progress through the grades and gain their black belts. To do this it is necessary to know the names of the techniques and be able to demonstrate them. This book sets out to list all the techniques you will ever need to know for progress through the grades.
Secondly, it can be said that if a technique does not have a name it does not exist or does not exist for long. Much unnamed technique exists in the minds of competitors and teachers but it usually dies with them. However, by researching judo books, Japanese and Western, old and new, I have identified 100 named throws and 90 named groundwork techniques. It is hoped that by grouping them under one cover it will provide a memory bank of judo technique and help perpetuate their existence. To my knowledge this is the first time that this has been done.
Thirdly, as I researched the subject it became clear that some confusion exists both in Japan and elsewhere as to correct names of the techniques. This book is an attempt to sort out this confusion.

The Sources
Since the originator of judo -- Jigoro Kano -- was Japanese and the names of the techniques are in Japanese, I have taken Japanese experts to be the primary authorities. In particular I have referred to books written by high-grade Japanese, mostly 10th Dans such as Kyuzo Mifune, Sakujiro Yokoyama and Sumiyuki Kotani.
The named techniques come from three sources. First and foremost is the Kodokan and its Gokyo. The Kodokan is the name of the judo school that Kano created and the word Gokyo means 'five teachings'. The Gokyo consists of five groups of eight throws. This list is occasionally updated but it cannot be said to have changed much in the last century.
In addition to the Gokyo the Kodokan compiles a list of techniques, both throws and groundwork, that it officially recognizes.
Next are the techniques in the kata (pre-arranged movement sequences) created by the founder of judo.
Finally there are the extra techniques identified or invented by Japanese 10th Dan experts in Japan or by Japanese high grade instructors resident abroad such as Gunji Koizumi in Britain and Mikonosuke Kawaishi in France. Such is the formal nature of society in Japan that only high grades have the authority to 'create' new techniques.
Many of the techniques in this book are not randori (free-fighting) or competition techniques. It must be remembered, however, that the randori/competition rules were formulated so that judo could be done safely and realistically. Thus dangerous techniques were excluded from this format but not eliminated from judo. Some of the more dangerous techniques were put into the kata but only a few. The original complete system of judo consisted of throws, joint-locks (all types of joint locks), strangles, immobilization holds and atemi-waza or the art of striking vital nerve spots.
Apart from the interest in these ancient, effective and often secret techniques, the modern competition referee will find them useful when deciding between, say, a strangle or a neck-lock in a competition. Some referees have only a hazy idea of what the 'illegal' techniques really are.
Those who are interested in judo as a means of' self-defence will find these non-competition techniques very useful.
Finally those interested in the historical development of judo will discover how over the years as the rules have changed certain techniques have been eliminated. This has limited judo in ways that most modern judo people are not aware of.
ALL THE NON-COMPETITION AND NON-RANDORI
TECHNIQUES HAVE BEEN CLEARLY MARKED.

Introduction
If you went into different Judo clubs around the world you might find Judo done in different ways, and if you asked the club teacher about this he would say Judo has such and such a purpose and that is how I teach it. In fact Judo can be done for a variety of reasons and it is not possible to say that Judo has one purpose. A teacher may care to stress only one reason and that is perfectly valid but he cannot deny the other purposes of Judo.
Basically, there are five ways of looking at Judo. Jigoro Kano, the originator of Judo, said that Judo is three things. It is a combat form, a physical training method and a character-building method. In recent years part of Judo has developed into an international competitive sport. In addition the vast majority of people who practise it in small clubs have discovered they like doing it for its own sake and can be said to do it for recreational purposes. Judo is also a Japanese activity. The 'style' or 'image' of Judo is Japanese and to many this is one of its attractive features.
In this book I have tried to cover all these aspects and stress the fact that Judo is an all purpose activity. For the modern competitive Judoman I have included chapters on modern training methods and contest tactics and for the more traditionally minded, chapters on Judo philosophy and Kata.
Judo has something for everybody. It is a completely natural activity for children, being a disciplined form of playground rough and tumble. It is a tough and demanding sport that will challenge any man (or woman) and its philosophical problems will satisfy the thinker who wants his sport to be more than just a sport.
Judo is rapidly developing as an Olympic sport. In the process the rules are being modified not only for competitive purposes but also to make it visually more exciting for the spectator. The result of this is to move Judo partially away from some of its original purposes. At a lower recreational level many of these developments do not apply. However, it seems to me that while Judo changes at the top of the pyramid, the base will probably want to carry on as it has done for nearly a century and that is why this book is fairly Japanese in flavour.
Although this book is in the Teach Yourself series it is anticipated that the vast majority of people who buy it will join a Judo club and learn their Judo as it were 'with the book in one hand'. Nevertheless the individual in some remote spot may learn a lot from it.
Since the majority of people who do Judo are male, I have described it from this point of view throughout, using the masculine gender. Women's competitive Judo is now flourishing and I hope that some of the 'fighting' ladies will not take this amiss.
Finally I hope the reader will get as much pleasure out of Judo as I do. I still learn something new almost every time I go on the mat and this is after nearly twenty-five years of training.

The reason for my interest is that as a low grade judoka in the mid-sixties I visited the Budokwai and the Renshuden on a number of occasions and encountered several of the people named in the book. Like many others at that time I enjoyed judo as a sport but not to the highly competitive edge that Mr Hoare describes in detail.
The early chapters relate how Mr Hoare became involved in judo and won his 1st Dan black belt at 16 in just 18 months which, even now, would be a considerable achievement. We than follow his 3 years as a serving British soldier during which although his judo activity was limited he was able to achieve a high standard of physical fitness.
The core of the book to my mind is the 4 years (1961-4) in Japan training at the Kodokan and top university and police dojos. This details the exhaustive training undertaken to become an elite player in this sport, which at that level is more akin to rigorous unarmed combat, although played within clearly defined rules, and culminating in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
In my opinion this book will appeal to those who have been on a judo mat and also anyone interested in Japanese culture as experienced by Mr Hoare in the 1960's and hope that Mr Hoare will find the opportunity to write more on this subject.

Syd Hoare is admirably placed to write abaout this subject. He trained in Japan for four years and studied Japanese and Zen Buddhism at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London. His judo career began when there were no weight categoris in judo and when contest times were often fifteen minutes or more. He competed during the early transition stage when first the Soviet fighters came on the scene and shocked the judo world with their different approach to judo and when judo became a full weight category sport. He saw the decline of the Japanese hegemony of the game, judo's develoment into a full Olympic sport and the introduction of the smaller scores of koka and yuko.
After his contest career he helped train a number of top competitors and, in adition to writing a number of books on judo, worked as a judo administrator. He also served as Chairman of the British Judo Association.
In recent years he has worked for Eurosport TV commentating on judo, wrestling and sumo covering all the major world events.

The four causes of defeat. This is an old Samurai formula. The first part is futanren which means insufficient training. this is fairly obvious. the second is mikuzure which means to see and crumble and the third is kikioji which means hear and tremble. To see and crumble means to be defeated by the appearance of the opponent such as his size and manner. The third means to tremble at the reputation of the opponent. I would now add a forth cause of defeat and that is mu-keikaku or no-planning.
