This is a two volume set, the red cover is throwing techniques, and the green cover is grappling techniques. You may also have seen this set of books in paperback - renamed 'Judo in Action'. (See Note) If you cannot find this book, 'Judo in Action' is a good substitute. These books contain the type of detail that really makes a difference in your technique. Includes 'special hints' and 'key points', as well as follow-up attacks and escapes. These books are out of print, and close to impossible to find. And when you find them, you'll pay an arm and a leg for them... (and count yourself lucky!)
(Note: The only major difference that I can tell between the paperback 'Judo in Action' and "Dynamic Judo" is that the 'Judo in Action' cuts out some of the escapes, and doesn't contain the 10 page chapter 7 - historical information, bibliography, and index.)

THE REASON for the increasing popularity of judo all over the world since it became a part of the Olympics in Tokyo, 1964, lies certainly in its dynamically powerful techniques and in the heroic stirring barehanded throws. Though, of course, the deepest aim of judo is now and always will be the perfection of the human being, its relatively easy-to-master combat techniques and the possibility of applying those techniques to daily self-defense attract more and more followers.
For thoroughness of treatment of both the techniques and their deeper meanings against a background of judo's growing popularity, this book has no peers. Here are some of the reasons why:
The author Kazuzo Kudo (Kodokan 9th dan), as the sole living person to have received instructions directly from Jigoro Kano, the founder of judo, is passing on the orthodox tradition and advancing the progress of modern judo by training such brilliant young stars as Toshio Daigo, Koji Sone, Isao Inokuma, Akio Kaminaga, Seiji Sakaguchi, Mitsuo Matsunaga, and A. Geesink. This book represents the culmination of fifty years of teaching experience involving the finest names in judo.
The explanatory texts cover the techniques thoroughly, case by case, clause by clause, as meticulously as a legal document. Series photographs back up and clarify the explanations. Only a man who knows the techniques completely and who has mastered their very inner meanings could write a book like this one. This is why Dynamic Judo is impossible to top.
This book includes the 54 grappling techniques and all of their variant application methods. Of course, number alone is nothing to brag about. The real value of the explanations lies in the equal depth and thoroughness with which all of them are analyzed and all of their essential meanings brought to the surface.
One of the book's most important features is its treatment of series techniques and variations. If one technique does not work properly, the thing to do is to use another and another in succession. If an opponent attacks with a particular technique, you counter attack with a variation. This book offers outstanding series-photograph examples of series techniques and variations carefully culled from fifty years of attendance at judo matches. Dynamic Judo comes in a complete two-volume set. Volume l contains the throwing techniques that anyone starting out on a judo career must master, and Volume II concentrates on the more advanced grappling techniques.
Though naturally the original text was in Japanese, the translator, Richard L. Gage, has made careful renditions of all judo terminology into easy-to-understand English that will set a new standard.
