The judo I practice is a descendant of the method of the approach to judo devised by Mikonosuke Kawaishi adapted for teaching Europeans and partially documented in his book My Method of Judo (out of print).One of my old posts includes a summary of Kawaishi's syllabus:
- The art of falling: Breakfalls and rolls
- Methods of disturbing the opponent's balance
- Throwing techniques
- 15 leg throws
- 15 hip throws
- 6 shoulder throws
- 10 hand throws
- 15 "sacrifice" throws
- Ground-fighting techniques
- 17 immobilizations
- 29 strangles
- 25 arm-locks
- 9 leg-locks
- 6 neck dislocations
Check out this web page for a complete listing of the techniques in his book.

Bronson only had persistence going for him. :)
I looked at Kawashi when looking at how judo classifies their throwing techniques. Don't know if you've seen it, but Attilio Sacripanti in Advances in Judo Biomechanics Research (published 2010), Chair of Sports Biomechanics at Rome University, contains a very interesting article on the different judo nage-waza classification systems that have been proposes. Classifications systems which are designed to facilitate the understanding and study of these techiques. Kawashi proposed the least modification of all the proposed modifications to Kano's classification.
With these classifications, I'd urge anyone to ask, 'what is the principle of division?' A principal of division is the 'rules' which divides the classes in a classification. There have been so many alternatives to Kano's classification proposed (though seldom known) because Kano's is inconsistent in its principles of division.
Obviously discussed in more detail in the book I'm working on.

John C:
Very interesting stuff. Sacripanti's book is ahem -- not inexpensive -- but looks interesting.
A blog post that summarizes the Sacripanti's points on the various classification systems would be very interesting.
Over to you ... ;-)

Agreed. Sacripanti's book is not cheap. Researching this book is putting a dent in my net worth in more ways than one. I'll make a deal with you. Explain to me how to arrange my blogs into chapters as you've done and I'll write a blog on the historical classification systems of judo nage-waza which have been proposed - with appropriate clarification. You're blog with the chapters alerted me to the obvious organisation of my blog given the purpose of mine is to generate interest in my work on my book.
Cheers

Hi John
I have some instructions here. Let me know if you need some more clarification.
