Des Marwood has brought together his professional skills as an artist and his decades of extensive judo experience to produce a practical introduction to judo - based on 'judographs' - or easy-to-follow charts.

The main action of the technique runs through the middle of the diagrams, while combinations or counters are shown above or below at appropriate stages.

Special points and tips are also given where necessary.

Containing virtually all the techniques required to progress from beginner to black belt, Decisive Judo is an attractive, new type of manual that aims to promote a flowing style of judo.
