foot throws for karate, judo and self defense

 a well organized book by former US judo champion hayward nishioka. he divides the throws up into their types and the steps for the throws are well illustrated.
i could see this book being used for a backyard judo class with some mats laid out. provided that one knows how to fall (akemi) and the throws aren't done too roughly, it would be a safe activity. this book would also be good for an eclectic martial artist looking to add some basic, practical judo trips to his/her skill set.
