The authors begin with a comprehensive survey of Japans classical disciplines, which sets the foundation for understanding what judo is and what it means to the people who practice it. They show how, from its arrival on U.S. shores in the late nineteenth century, judo has built upon the strengths of the two societies it bridges. For martial arts practitioners and others interested in Asian and American cultural history, this thoroughly researched and richly illustrated book is an indispensable resource for understanding judos ongoing role in the contemporary life of the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"North Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44950176038965,"sku":"ByrdShop_1556435630","price":316.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781556435638_14d759be-827d-458b-b7e2-3af67a3ffffa.jpg?v=1778830760","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/judo-in-the-us-a-century-of-dedication-9781556435638","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
