In spite of the training time I spent with the author, and my personal opinion that Mr. Tegner was a fine gentleman, I don't have a very high opinion of his books. I can't recommend any of Mr. Tegner's books. Although this is the sort of book that introduced many people to Judo... it is worthless to the advanced student of Judo. There are mistakes all through the text, the Judo shown is not at a very high level. It is, however, interesting to note that he was perhaps the very first person to do photos of two Judoka in different colored gi's performing a technique. It does make the photos crystal clear.

PREFACE
Judo is a relatively new sport. It was introduced in Japan in the 1880's, the same decade that volleyball and basketball were introduced in the United States. Jigaro Kano, a Japanese educator and sport enthusiast, spent many years studying specialties of the martial arts. From among them he synthesized two new forms which he called judo.
For sport and physical development Professor Kano selected throwing and grappling techniques. For self-defense he selected hand and foot blows, holds, escapes and trips. He established the Kodokan, a school for teaching judo. Beginning students at the Kodokan were taught only the sport phase of judo-throws and grappling. Advanced students were taught the entirely different and separate techniques for self-defense. For many years, continuing into the present, the word judo has been used for both the sport form and the self-defense form of the activity. Sometimes the terms jujitsu or atemi waza were used to distinguish the self-defense activity from the sport of judo. More often, judo and jujitsu were used interchangeably. The resulting confusion delayed the acceptance of judo as a legitimate sport. It also resulted in the sport techniques of judo being misperceived as self-defense. Professor Kano's own writings and teachings made it clear that the sport of judo was not intended for self-defense and his fervent hope was to have judo recognized as a pure sport form.
Although he did not live to see it, Professor Kano's fondest wish was realized when judo became an official Olympic Games event. Today the word judo is increasingly understood to designate the modern sport as it is practiced for fun and physical fitness, and for competition up through Olympic Games tournament.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bruce Tegner was literally born to his vocation. Both his parents were professional teachers of judo and jujitsu and they began to teach him when he was two years old! His mother, June Tegner, was a remarkable woman who achieved the high rank of third degree black belt (sandan) under the tutelage of T. Shozo Kuwashima, an official representative of the Kodokan. When Jigaro Kano, the founder of judo, visited the United States, June Tegner traveled with his entourage and was later invited to study at the Kodokan. The Tegner family maintained a relationship with the Kodokan until after the death of Professor Kano and the beginning of World War II.
When he was eight years old, Mr. Tegner's instruction was taken up by Asian and European masters. In a subject area in which most individuals studied a single specialty of the martial arts, Tegner's background is exceptional. His education covered many styles of weaponless fighting and included instruction in sword and stick fighting. But judo remained his favored activity in his youth. He, too, studied with T. Shozo Kuwashima, and under Kuwashima's expert coaching achieved the rank of second black belt (nidan) at the age of seventeen-then the youngest second degree black belt on record in the United States. He then went on to become the California state judo champion in 1949. Bruce Tegner did not engage in competition after 1949, but devoted himself to research, writing, teaching, and teacher training. He had begun his teaching career while still a youngster, assisting in schools operated by his family. Professional activity was not a bar to competition in those days.
In the U. S. Armed Forces, Mr. Tegner taught teachers of hand-to-hand combat, trained military police instructors and coached special services sport judo teams. He was also employed by the U. S. Government to train border patrol personnel and Treasury Department agents.
From 1952 to 1967 he operated a private school in Hollywood where he taught thousands of men, women and children, and was frequently called on for technical advice for movies and television programs. He instructed actors and invented spectacular fight scenes, and in several films he even took the role of villain, "losing" fights to actors whom he had trained.
Although Bruce Tegner was taught in a traditional manner, he introduced innovations in teaching procedures and concepts which were considered heretical at the time, but which have since been widely imitated and are now recognized as being consistent with modern concepts of health and physical education. He has devised many special courses, among them courses of practical self-defense which have been adopted in physical education classes throughout the world.
