Joshi Goshin Ho, Self-Defense for women of traditional Judo Gabriel Garcia

In this study we addressed the method of self-defense for women created by the direction of Kodokan in 1943, which is why it was an official kata within Judo. Unfortunately, it has fallen into oblivion just as it has happened with other kata and groups of techniques. This method was developed by first level teachers, students of Jigoro Kano, some of them were later promoted to 10th Dan. For this reason and for the technical richness of this method is why we encourage everyone to practice and promote it regularly in the dojos around the world. Unfortunately, women continue to suffer all types of aggression regardless of the country where they reside, making necessary more than ever the in-depth study of specific techniques and skills so that women can repel an attack. Undoubtedly, nothing better than to practice with seriousness and regularity the Joshi Goshin Ho to achieve this goal. Authors: Bruce r. Bethers, Jose Caracena, Gabriel Garcia Color book
