Great information, including the secret of the smaller beating the larger in ground grappling:

"For example I came up with what I called the Unagi no Osaekata (the eel restraint). As is
well known if you press an eel with your hand it will slide away and escape but if you
put your hand on it gently it can be trapped. Later I came up with the snake and frog
technique. Like the snake that slowly swallows a frog one bit at a time my
groundwork overwhelmed my opponents in much the same manner."

A-Z of Judo is good for showing a lot of the old "illegal" techniques. Not step by step, but they are self explanatory. Some old locks and subs as well.

Judo Strategies was good for training sayings and stories and the like.

I've ordered the History book, will review when I'm done.
