As a jujitsu player who recently switched to judo, I have been watching his videos on YouTube very often. They are helpful, but this is definitely the best way to start as I was skipping over too many of the basics. I highly recommend this one!

Excellent. Covers the basics for the beginner, but enough detail to be useful for more advanced practitioners.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Peeked my interest in Judo
Judo is the prime example of hyper fixating on a specific game and becoming a master. Shintaro is a sage so everything he says here is pure gold.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great in overview and detail for Judo based srand up game!
Sensei S.H. understands rhe art and the sport so well. He gives you essentials in depth. It is about grip fighting for both stances, off balancing and misdirection to eventually attacking with low risk and high percentage techniques. He ovvers a clear guidance of how to step and move to execute successfulky. His explanaitions are up to the point
Improved my Judo instantly
From the very first section on basic gripping, I was immediately able to use more throws in live rounds than ever before. This instructional is a great return to basics for anyone trying to up their judo game.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Amazing instructional, cant wait for
Amazing instructional, cant wait for next video getting to combinations and detail of techiques.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great Judo Instructor
I found when starting grappling that most of the judo instruction online was very focused on isolated, specific techniques and situations. It was hard for me to build a mental model of how judo worked in general. I struggled to understand what I should do after my opponents didn't let me get the perfect set up for these individual techniques I saw online Then I found Shintaro's youtube channel. He is a fantastic source to understand not only individual Judo techniques, but also the conceptual and fundamental elements of judo which help you understand the art in a more general sense. His instruction is helping me build a system of understanding what I should do, when, and why... making learning techniques and successfully applying them much easier. I was happy to buy this video even when his free youtube content is great. This is an excellent all in one package that goes above and beyond for a someone looking to start building a strong stand up game and speed up their growth in understanding and progressing Judo
