Looking forward to use these for MMA
Took a lot from this, as never trained judo! Looking forward to implementing it.
Excellent technique breakdowns
If your stand-up game lacks reliable takedowns and you prefer upper-body control and trips over shooting low singles or doubles, New Wave Judo is an exceptional.
Great takedowns
Excelente
Great instructional on learning judo using wrestling tie-ups. It is a little longer than it needs to be due to the language barrier but well worth the money.
Great instructional video!
Great application of judo in nogi.
Great
Best no go video available
Great instruction, it would be better in japanese with subtitle, sensei is the best but it would give a lot if he can speak in his own language
Good no-go throws
Great instruction on how to adapt judo to the modern no gi game
reat No Gi Instruction for Judo
A good review and index of judo throws and trips but doesn't leave much for setups
You can satoshi knows his stuff. Nice footsweep details.
The best foundation for learning no gi judo on the market
Excellent
After attending a seminar by Satoshi Ishii, I began using the fundamentals of Judo from wrestling tie ups in No Gi. i was surprised how well the two could be combined.
trouble shooting uchi
Great information, straight to the point. Very usefull tips, especially the grips. Satoshi Ishii demonstrates his favorite techniques, with variations, and some sequences.
great
This instructional presents some great Judo techniques that can be use in No Gi BJJ and self defense, highly recommended.
When we participate in some competions of grappling and/ or Jiu-jitsu, many athletes have already had wrestling skills and they use them. On the other hand, JUDO skills are not so popular as wrestling ones. Then we can successfully use JUDO skills there. But we cannot usually find good instructors and instruction videos for grappling and Jiu-jitsu, since most of coaches become JUDO field's coaches. However ex-Olympic champion, Mr. Satoshi Ishii left JUDO world and he tries many battle fields, such as MMA, boxing, etc. to compete. That's why he have enough knowledge and experiences of MMA, grappling and so on. Therefore this instruction video is one of the best one to achieve enough skills of JUDO to be able to use them for grappling and jiu-jitsu, etc. Thank you, Satoshi !! 通常、柔道でここまでのキャリアを築いた方は、柔道界から出ませんが、石井慧選手は、数少ない、別のキャリアを築いた先駆者です。そのため、柔道技をグラップリングにどのように応用すべきかを、教えられる稀少な人材(教育者/先生)です。ひいては、これらの柔道技は、腰を引いて、引き込んでくる柔術にも応用がきくと、個人的には思います。No-Giで、柔道技をどう使ったらいいのか知らない人が多いので、知らない技は掛かりやすい。逆に、レスリング技術は、No-Giでは、ある意味、当たり前に、皆が練習するため、柔術家が、後から習得しようとしても、どうしても、レスリング出身者には敵いません。そこで、アドバンテージを築くのであれば、こうした、No-Giでも使える柔道技だと感じます。この教則動画では、柔道未経験者にも分かりやすく、柔道世界王者の石井慧が教えてくれる稀少な一本です。
After watching those instruction videos, went to train and used some of those techniques on my sparring partners. It worked! Not everything work on 1st time but the principal is there.
Good . Allota good details. With defenses and Offenses.
As a green belt in judo/black II in Bjj I love no gi judo, so far technique is crisp and good, wish it was better in english or even subtitled.
Lots of important details discussed that I have overlooked before
Crazy Value, exactly what i wanted
I'm 65 started BJJ late in life, 1 and a half years ago, need to improve everything, obviously, on top had no take down skills. New Wave Judo was the perfect instructional to start my study to jump start take downs.
Satoshi covers most all judo throws and trips here.
Satoshi Ishii does a great job of teaching some of Judo's most effective throws without the GI
Little details make big results
great details
Satoshi Ishii has developed a No Gi judo game that is easy to implement and based on basic wrestling tie ups that makes it easier for non judo grapplers to implement his techniques.
A good instructional satoshi explains everything with great detail but sometimes due to his lack of english his explanations fall a little bit short.
Satoshi's explanations are good but sometimes his lack of english makes the explanation a little bit short but overall a good intructional for judo style takedowns
Liking this video a great deal
Satoshi is a great instructor, even though English isn't his first language (It's not mine either). He shows everything you need to know as is very clear.
Great content. Very practical and easy to implement
The break down is amazing. Very technical but easy to follow
There's a lot of content out there that does not address realistic reactions and as a result some Judo throws become low percentage. Satoshi does a great job of addressing setups, off balancing and weight/power distribution. It'll be great (BJJ Fabatics) if we had close captioning for some of these videos. I know there's a ton of instructors with thick accents.
good
Awesome
Very helpful
this is my second video on No Gi judo by Satoshi Ishii. I have also attended one of his seminars recently. I found his instruction easy to follow and effective techniques after a short period of drilling.
Great techniques for NO GI!
tons of bookmarks in this one.
Very detailed instructional. Shows entry from different angles. Can be a little difficult to hear because of the echo in the gym and english not being his first language. Regardless the detail he shows with the footwork and hand placement make it easy to pick up.
