ここだけの話
内容
The book is structured into two main parts: General Overview and Technique. In the Technique section, it begins with etiquette, covering basic techniques, pins, strangles, joint locks, ground and secret techniques, and more. Mifune, a 10th dan, personally demonstrates in about 1000 sequential photographs.
This publication was initiated by Kikumatsu Ogawa, founder of Seibundo Shinkosha, after learning of the burgeoning interest in judo study abroad in 1952. It was realized after direct negotiations with 10th dan Mifune. The English edition also became a long seller, contributing to the global boom in judo.
The first edition was published in May 1954, titled “Judo Kyoten: The Way and the Technique.” A decade after its release, judo was featured as an official sport in the Tokyo Olympics.
In this revision, the usage of terms was reviewed, and new explanatory manuscripts were developed, with Mifune confirming the content. Sadly, he passed away in January 1965, before seeing the publication of this revised edition.
