JUDO

This is the first book in a series of three volumes designed for students who already possess some elementary knowledge of Judo, and who wish to make themselves familiar with the more advanced actions. Dr. Feldenkrais has made a serious study of Judo, and has attained Black Belt efficiency. In Higher Judo he explains how Judo practice can educate and train a person to become independent of his heritage. He stresses that size, weight an~ strength are not major concerns to a Judo expert. It is universally' recognized that Judo promotes a sense of balance and self-confidence, and cultivates an ability to overcome brute force and inherited weaknesses, but the reasons for these effects have long been left unexplored. In this book, Dr. Feldenkrais discusses the intermingled working of gravitation with the bones, muscles and nerves of the body and explains the relationship between the body and the concious or unconcious mind.
