Customer Reviews

Lots of action/different players/different moves!!!
I like this video, mainly, because, it includes lots of action/throws/moves/players, and, includes both sexes, as well. Initially, the moves are shown at natural/fast pace...; then, the moves are shown slow so that you can more clearly see what is going on...; it all takes place in an actual tournament situation between the topmost professional judo players.

For me, this is a real good one that I brought...not a dud/so, I have absolutely nil regrets...and, one that I will often take out of the video draw to go watch, repeatedly, again and again. This is why I do have no difficulty, atall, in recommending it to others.

NOTE: I'm not a Judo player...; but, I am a Judo -(and, other martial arts)- fan...from ever since youngest childhood. I much prefer to see movement in videos...which you can slow down/step through frames/or, else, replay at normal speed.../than, looking at a book which is full of still photographs-but, shows no real movement, atall. Books are good, though, for giving you lots of very highly detailed textual explanations...; however, not so good for showing constantly flowing movement. Usually, I will tend to buy both...a book/and, a video, in order to improve my understanding of any particular martial art(s).

Superb action
An exciting introduction to the Olympic martial art of judo, this tape shows 101 judo throws - all but not all ippons - by some of the biggest names in judo from the 1980s: Neil Adams, Karen Briggs, Elvis Gordon, Ingrid Bergmans

An essential reference and coaching tool.
