An excellent set of instructions for judo throws from several different wrestling tie-up settings. One glaring mistake this instructor makes is on nomenclature. What he calls “De ashi barai” is actually “Sasae tsurikomi ashi.” But most bjj folks would not know or care about the Japanese terminologies. What is actually important is the technique. I appreciate the instructor’s way of creating kuzushi by stepping forward and pushing away, followed by circling away at an angle and pulling. This tai sabaki is a highly effective way of setting up for the throws.
As both a Judoka and BJJ enthusiast I really enjoyed this title.
Awesome
I catch lots of wrestlers off guard with the game showed here . Extremely underrated. Hidden gem .
Great details
Some very nice content here on adapting some of the classic judo throws to no-gi. I would recommend this for someone who wants to see a lot of different techniques in a short time- there's not a lot of theory here, it's just demonstrating the move a couple times and moving on to the next one. For that reason, maybe not the best choice for beginners, but very nice for those who just want something to review quickly before getting on the mats.
Overall, straight to the point like I wanted.
