www.kodokan.org?

I like to think that my judo is kodokan judo. I train regularly and 
personally am not interested in the competitive aspect of it. Many people 
say that you cannot learn from a book. I disagree with this, much of what I 
have learned is from a book. The only difference is that you have to try out 
the technique and figure out how to make it work for you. It's best if you 
train  with others interested in the classical style. Have you done any 
Kata?

If you want to learn more search for the following books.

Kodokan Judo - By Jigaro Kano
Anything by Pat Harrington

I'd recommend the older book for information on Kodokan Judo.
