[1] velobici: I am not competent at all to translate the titles; it's just to give an idea of the topics.

NN: If I remember correctly, it was more written about book 'Getting Strong In The Corner' (but maybe someone deleted it). Can anyone who has this book or had a chance to look at it write more info? I assume (and kind of remember from that post that disappeared) that knowledge of Japanese is not necessary to get a lot from this book. Anyone can provide more info? Thanks a lot in advance.

Hyperpapeterie: There's some discussion in the discussion/talk/forum page (I don't know what to call it) where BobMcGuigan expresses roughly the sentiment you describe about the corner book. Is that what you were thinking of?
