 Judo Book Review - Teach Yourself Judo
If you went into different Judo clubs around the world you might find Judo done in different ways, and if you asked the club teacher about this he would say Judo has such and such a purpose and that is how I teach it.
In fact Judo can be done for a variety of reasons and it is not possible to say that Judo has one purpose.
However, it seems to me that while Judo changes at the top of the pyramid, the base will probably want to carry on as it has done for nearly a century and that is why this book is fairly Japanese in flavour.

Medieval Japanese Warriors practiced many forms of unarmed combat, which were grouped under the general name "Jujitsu" for "the gentle pratice." The object of all these martial arts forms was to avoid an enemy's superior strength and to use that strength to his disadvantage.
Judo is "the gentle way" because the end result is the accomplishment of a goal with maximum effieciency and minimum effort.
As an art, Judo enables its practitioners to gain self-respect, self-confidence, and self-expression; as a science, it involves a mastery of such basic natural laws as gravity, friction, momentum, weight transmission, and unity of forces.
