Description
Higher Judo Groundwork is a comprehensive guide to the martial art of judo, written by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais. First published in 1952, this book presents judo as the art of using all parts of the body to promote general health and well-being.
Through detailed explanations and clear line drawings, Feldenkrais reveals judo's potential for creating a sense of rhythm and improving mental and physical coordination. The book covers specific movements and positions, including the astride position and falling techniques, and shows how groundwork can help practitioners develop their mental and physical awareness to their full potential.
With its focus on body/mind exploration and optimal functioning, Higher Judo Groundwork offers a unique perspective on the martial art of judo. This reprint includes a new foreword that provides useful context and elaborates on Feldenkrais' approach, making it a valuable resource for both new and experienced judo practitioners.
