Summary: Must Have
Comment: This is a very comprehensive book with tons of material that will give any judo student, even the most advanced, lots to think about and study. The text is vastly improved from the older version and it is now understandable. Mifune was a master, and he shows techniques that are not seen much in judo any more, as well as all the basics.

This book is a must have for every serious judo student. Since the older version went out of print copies have been selling for hundreds of dollars and everyone has been clamoring for a new edition. This work will satisfy everyone who can now see a glimpse of judo as it existed 50 to 75 years ago before modern Olympic competition.

Summary: Comparison to the Original
Comment: I just got my copy of the Canon of Judo yesterday from Amazon and spent time comparing it to the original I bought off eBay (...) a while ago. The translations and descriptions have been updated. The book reads much easier however, I still like the original better. The pages in the original are a higher quality and the pictures look much sharper. It is a more literal translation, and of course the cover is made of judo gi material. All in all I would still recommend getting the new version. (...).

Comment: I first started chasing this masterpiece for almost 40 years well worth the effort,my first contact with this book through my sensei in 1966 shortly after master Mifunes'passing . There will never be another book of this caliber in this subject, a must for any serious judoka specially a small framed light person.
