This Manual supplies moves to off-balance and throw adversaries in many different ways that can be adopted to deal with varied threats. Fred Neff has written a concise, well illustrated and straightforward book on throwing that demystifies this often admired skill. The language, pictures, organization and size of the book are so easy to utilize that it is an ideal book for anyone who is interested in the subject and earns my high recommendation.
Manual of Throws is User Friendly

Fred Neff's Manual of Throws is user friendly. It is very well organized. It gives the historical background for the development of throws, answers to common questions about throwing, warm-up exercises, stances for throwing, falling techniques, sport Judo throws and additional self-defense throws. I like the way the writer broke down each throw into simple learning steps with corresponding photographs. I have followed these learning steps and found they work to allow me to execute the throw. This manual is an outstanding resource for someone who wants to learn how to do different types of throws. This book like Fred Neff's other books on Lessons From the Samurai, Lessons From the Japanese Warriors, Lessons From the Eastern Warriors, Lessons from the Western Warriors and Lessons from the Fighting Commandos really provides the essential information on throwing and related takedowns. I successfully used all of these excellent books to add to my repertoire of techniques. Manual of Throws for Judo and Self Defense is strongly recommended.
