In Advanced Judo and Self-Defence, author Pat Butler has produced a book for the judoka who has a knowledge of the basic throws and holds in judo but wishes to build upon the foundation he or she has established.

As in most building operations it is essential to ensure that the foundation is sound and the reader will excuse a certain amount of emphasis being placed on what may seem to be quite elementary matters. Covering basic throws and counter-throws there is a significant amount of emphasis placed on combination techniques and advanced self-defence methods.

Originally published in 1961 this book still is a valuable addition to any martial artists library, this book is a tremendous resource in exploring the intricacies of Judo and the self-defence application of Judo knowledge.
