    About the author

    Tadao Otaki's long experience in teaching judo-to everyone from beginners to Olympic champions-and his contributions to its teaching methods brought him worldwide acclaim. Otaki-sensei died in 1998.

    Donn Draeger was an internationally recognized authority on the martial arts of Asia and the author of many books on the subject. A pioneer Westerner in the practice of Japanese martial arts, he was the first non-Japanese to compete in the All-Japan High-Rank Holders' Judo Tournament at the Kodokan.
