Foot Throws by Hayward Nishioka is an excellent introduction to using foot throws, whether you are into Judo, Karate or self-defense. The author is a well-known Judo expert, who also studied Karate, and has a keen insight into how to use these various foot throws for self-defense. Nishioka first explores the three major areas of foot throws and their many applications, moving on to cover basic, effective sweeps, reaps and wheels. While many of the techniques demonstrated in clear, easy to follow photographs, are probably most suitable to Judo, all the methods presented in this book are sophisticated forms of foot throws. Also described by the author, are techniques and various combinations. The use of foot throws can be of great benefit in both sport competition and unrestricted combat situations. The victim of a mugging can often upset an attacker long enough to escape by properly applying even the simplest foot throw.
