Hey, I'm standing right here,

dammit.

My 'expert' (yondan, with really good ukemi) is using live-toe

Wa huh? "Live toe forward" meaning...what exactly? Or is this a reference to RLA gait?

and tries to turn to look as he does the backward roll.

Wow...ok. So will there be a blindfold involved anytime soon?

(not that I got a thing for blindfolds. Well, ok, maybe a little...uh...nevermind)

side-by-side, looks like one is watching the forward and reverse of the same roll

Hey, that *is* interesting! Ohh, you could have fun with that little tidbit...maybe build a model...or do something with the cog. science guys re: neural nets. <drools>

Ahem. Anyhow, the book you were thinking of might be "For the Love of Judo". Though that's a kids book. Much better is the "Biomechanics of judo". Or anything by Geesink.

Another good place to look -

And lots of articles to dig up from here...

Coincidentally jane, for your amusement, I have a topic for this semester.

"The cybernetic nervous system - chiropractic as information theory".

It wordy AND pretentious at the same time. Whay!!
