Description:Q5109

In 1952 Yves Klein left Paris and moved to Japan in order to pursuit his first love, judo. He spent year and a half in Tokyo, studying at the Kokodan under the ninth dan judo master Oda. After becoming one of the first Europeans to receive a coveted fourth-dan black belt, Klein returned to France and open the Judo Academie in Paris. He gives us part of his documentation in this book. It fills a great gap in the European literature of Judo: the explanation of the Katas.
