Judo Strategies
Author: Syd Hoare
Pages: 119
Judo Strategies covers a wide range of subjects within Judo or allied to it. A few lessons in Judo soon show that it is a difficult art, and that there is a lot more to it than being able to do a couple of throws in combination. This book is about putting it all together, how to get good at it and how to win medals. It also looks at some of the wider or deeper facets of the art such as Zen and strategy: it covers many of the ancient oriental ideas that underpin the true practice of Judo.

Syd Hoare is admirably placed to write about this subject. His Judo career began when there were no weight categories and when contest times were often fifteen minutes or more. He competed during Judo's early transitional period, when the first Soviet fighters came on the scene and shocked traditional fighters with their different approach, and when Judo first became a weight category sport. He saw the decline of Japanese hegemony, Judo's development into an Olympic sport and the addition of the smaller scores of koka and yuko.
