,...........-and work up into the advanced combination moves. Thesame holds true for break-faIling-do not attempt to practiceany of this book without the required experience in falling!The second duty of this book is to present a teachingoutline for those engaged in giving judo instruction (Chapters13 and 14). This part of the book is not in any way acriticism of any particular individual, group, or school, butis an attempt to help instructors look more critically upontheir present teaching methods and improve them, if therebe such a need, for their own benefit and the benefit of allwho are entering upon a serious study of the art and sportof judo. The usual fault is that instruction methods arehanded down the line with little or no regard for the requirementsof the individual student or the group. Such instructionmethods are poor, and should be corrected. In connectionwith this I should like to suggest here that we forgetabout the methods. used in war-years in which so muchemphasis went to "dirty tricks of hand-to-hand combat."Those tricks were nothing more than a mixture of the mosteffective blows, holds, locks and breaks used is boxing,wrestling, and in judo; the fault was that the instructionwas solitary, confined to these moves and nothing else. Hundredsupon hundreds of "new" tricks were being "invented"by all sorts of persons, yet not one of the tricks could standalone.Inventing tricks is always easy when you know andunderstand the principles, for then your tricks need notstand alone. You can always work out, improvise, anothertrick. Isn't it obvious then that the surest approach to thisbusiness is by learning what the principles are? If you haveforgotten what they are, look up Volume One of MODERNJUDO.At this point I feel I should say a few words in relationto the many publicized misconceptions that have grownabout judo. Many ill-informed persons and many selfstyled"experts" have made statements that judo is: I) theunfairest and most ruthless wrestling method, 2) formalizedand based on rules, and therefore not effective in serioushand-to-hand combat, 3) not a sport, since it teaches howto kill, 4) of little value in a life-and-death struggle, and manymore equally detrimental statements.A glance will show these statements refuting one another,yet these statements were made by "experts." The truth ofthe matter is that judo as a sport is the safest of all hand-tohandmethods, but at the same time judo can be effectivelyemployed for any serious fighting (the same as can boxingand wrestling). In sporting contests, judo-players use aproved method of throwing and grappling to build uppoints against each other; in a serious emergency the samejudo-player can use his practiced knowledge of hitting,kicking, throwing, grappling, and a highly perfected methodof strangulation to defeat an opponent physically strongerand heavier than himself.The sad fact is that too many persons approach judowith a perverted idea, asking, "\Vhen will I learn the deathdealingblows?" For obvious reasons I have left suchphases out of these Volumes; the minor parts thereof(Chapters 10 and 12) are given for law and military personnel.In closing let me point out that you should read aboutjudo, but then you must go on the mat and learn how todo judo. Don't just glance at the text and the picruresreadit, study its application, and go on the mat and do it.Whenever practicing, do it barefooted or with soft-soledshoes. And always practice carefully!My sincerest thanks and appreciation to those militaryhand-to-hand combat instructors who took the trouble towrite me regarding the value of this book in their trainingprograms.CHARLES Y ERKOWWoodside, N.
