Publisher's Synopsis
We live in a violent world, an unfair world, a scary world. And not all countries allow us to carry weapons for self defense.
Therefore, it is important that we learn martial arts whenever possible, that we may hold our attackers at bay when we are attacked by miscreants.
And judo is one of the strongest bases for self defense: it has given rise to popular offshoots like Brazilian jiu jitsu, but it continues to be a storehouse of knowledge on how a smaller human can take down a larger aggressive human.
This book aims to inspire and motivate: you will learn about, and test your knowledge of, the greatest athletes who ever competed in Judo in the Olympic Games!
