Great beginner judo totorial
Some good stuff but not very in depth
Very useful but I was expecting a little bit more content for the price
Great instruction
Awesome intro to judo
Really nice simple Judo tehcniques.
very good simplified wrestling for non gi grappling, really enjoyed simplified rear body lock transitions.
Loved the chains uchi mata to ankle pick and sweep to knee tap, quality content for sure but i was expecting something more in terms of "quantity"
Clearly explained and demonstrated

A lot of nice wrestling moves chained from the underhook. Effective stuff.
Coming from a wrestling background, watching this instructional is more digestible and more executable.

Detailed, shows how to get to the underhook and overhook. Then shows moves from these positions
The amount of information is sufficient to put into practice. I supplement this with Travis Steven’s instructional to understand how Jay Rod is applying off-balancing — and I can really understand how these moves work. Looking forward to more videos by Jay.
Jacob explains Judo from a wrestler's perspective which makes it very digestible for me to understand

I didn't know how useful is the over hook until this instructional.
I like this guy.. good video
GREAT TIPS
bjj fanatics is SO helpful. i have a tournament soon and watching this has really prepared me for it!!!
Great for developing takedowns from Underhooks and Overhooks. Some really cool sequences.
This instructional has been a game-changer for my takedowns. The systemized approach, focusing on both underhook and overhook techniques, has really helped me improve my stand-up game. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to sharpen their no-gi takedowns and overall stand-up skills.
Simple to understand and effective techniques.
Jay Rod has a straight forward approach, to the techniques. This makes them executable during live rolls.
I really like this instructional, and it has really changed my game in the standup. I like all the details and they make a big difference in having more success with takedowns.
I really liked these judo takedowns and that they can greatly help play into my BJJ game. Thanks
great stuff.
Jay rod is a good instructor
