This book contains one hundred carefully graduated lessons in Judo and Self-Defense. The first forty-five lessons cover the theory required for the grading examinations up to Black Belt 1st Dan of the main Judo associations in Great Britain, so that a student proceeding this far will know as much as is required of a "Black Belt", though I would stress that mere knowledge is not sufficient to win the grade. At a grading examination, the examiners will look for practical skill and contest ability as well, and these only come with long practice. The fifty-five lessons that follow extend the student's knowledge still further, dealing with such subjects as Continuous Attack, further Counter Movements, Standing Defenses, and Self-Defense, etc.
