Editors Note: Throughout this book, readers will see mention of US Judo, judos national governing body. This organization is also known as US Judo, Inc. and USA Judo. For our purposes, the terms are synonymous.
In the chapters ahead, key words and phrases are in bold lettering. In some instances, these may be repeated based on the context of what is being discussed. Terminology conventionally used in judo will be interspersed with terminology definitively used in the study of human movement in order to provide more clarity. Additionally, the photos in this book show athletes and coaches in both judo and sambo uniforms, and others show athletes in no gi situations. Please do not be surprised if what looks like a judo technique is performed by people who are wearing sambo uniforms or vice versa. A good move is a good move, no matter what sport its done in or what type of clothing people are wearing.
The genius of Dr. Kanos creation, judo, is fully unlocked and thoroughly analyzed in this exploration and explanation of controlling movement by Steve Scott. Seiryoku zenyo, which can be best translated as the best use of energy or maximum efficiency with a minimum of effort is one of Dr. Kanos guiding principles. The other is jita kyoei, which is translated as mutual welfare and benefit. The word judo is often translated as the gentle way.
As a form of physical education and sport, judo provides an excellent vehicle for imparting in its practitioners a practical code of conduct and deportment that is crystallized in the phrase mutual welfare and benefit. As judos practitioners become more and more developed and trained in this more modern form of a martial art, they begin to have greater insight into the full meaning of maximum efficiency with a minimum of effort. In this excellent volume, Steve Scott provides both the coach and the student with useful insights into just why and how the gentle way functions as it does.
At the age of fifteen, I was awarded my shodan rank and competed in the regional tournament held by Shufu Judo Yudanshakai. I won my division and became the overall tournament champion by throwing the heavyweight champion for an ippon with uchi mata. Despite my larger and heavier opponent, the throw was effortless due to body mechanics and, philosophically, mushin or mindlessness. Mushin happens when the thrower is not consciously thinking and is mindless as the activity is occurring. This mindlessness is an automatic reflex developed by years of repetitive practice and diligence. These principles are included in this book.
The axiom that a much smaller man can defeat a bigger opponent is explained by body dynamics and movement control. Although I was successful as a fifteen-year-old defeating a much stronger and heavier opponent, I learned very quickly watching Anton Geesink (world and Olympic champion) train at the Kodokan and doing randori with him that the real principle at work in this case was the bigger they are, the harder they throw you. You will learn why this is true as you enjoy Steves insightful comments about how judo really functions.
I highly recommend that coaches and practitioners of judo read this volume because it will enhance and amplify your coaching and judo practice.

In his new book on judo movement, Steve Scott has given a gift to all judoka. It is a tour de force regarding all the principles of judo. Unlike almost every other judo book, Steve does not try to tell you how he does, or thinks you should do, a particular throw, but rather discusses in depth what is required to do any throw. It is a fitting adjunct to Kyuzo Mifunes classic book Canon of Judo. Further, Steve shows how these principles often translate into newaza (ground grappling) as well.
This book should be in everyones library. Why? First, it is a summary of everything a good judo teacher or coach should know as well as a reference text to help all of us remember the things we know but have forgotten to emphasize to our students in our lesson plans, because we are concentrating on a particular technique rather than its principles.
I am looking forward to adding this wonderful text to my collection. However, unlike most of the books I have, this one will be nearby for reference.
