Ippon Books was started with the intention of covering all aspects but at the heart of it was the Judo Masterclass Techniques Series. Anyone who has had the fortune to practise or to study with the Olympic and World champions who make up the authors list of Ippon Books, knows that to understand a technique like osoto-gari or seoi-nage requires serious study.

The purpose of Ippon Books is to make this information and this understanding available to all. We started with books, and each year has seen new titles. A lot of information and ideas can be conveyed from the text. But we have now branched into videos - for a picture and especially a moving picture can be worth a thousand words. The two videos available today reveal some of the latest developments in tachi-waza and newaza that are being used by the top competitors today.
