Fact: Your mobility starts to take a nosedive at the age of 30. Maybe you’ve already noticed a few more aches and pains when you stand up … that dropping into a full-depth squat is a lot harder than it used to be … it’s harder to turn your head from side to side … or you can’t straighten your arms overhead as easily as you used to. All of that is linked with your mobility. The bad news is that almost everything in our daily lives works AGAINST mobility – sitting at work, being on our phones, driving, etc. But here’s the really good news: There are specific things you can do to improve your mobility … and you can start to feel them work almost immediately. This challenge will help restore your body’s natural movement “flow.” It works your body from the ground up in just a few minutes every day. It’s crazy how fast it works … it’ll feel like night and day!

Достоинством этого пособия является также то, что наряду с техническими аспектами в нем рассмотрено происхождение дзюдзюцу, даны пояснения по принятой терминологии и правилам поведения в дзюдзюцу, о порядке проведения соревнований. Так что с книгой полезно ознакомиться не только тем, кто активно занимается или намерен заняться дзюдзюцу, но и просто желающим получить представленме об этом виде единоборства.
