makes me a threat on my feet
Saving me from doing bad double legs
Good and effective
Great practical application of Judo. My only complaint is the poor level 0f English. But, his english is way better than my Japanese.
Brilliant full of detail new look at no gi take downs
This instructional was very helpful
This is my game plan in nogi but also in gi
Great technique, my stand up is getting better!
Great details
Pretty detailed, I already see some opportunities against taller opponents.
footsweep details are amazing
thank you ishii-san
This is a gem of world-class judo applied to no-gi grappling. Satoshi Ishii explains and demonstrates a large variety of judo throws with essential details that make them work for no-gi.
Thanks to Satoshi Ishii every judo fighter can follow this path for a no-gi transition
Excellent instruction and attention to detail
Satoshi Ishi is a beacon of knowledge. truly one of the great judokas of our time. Gi and NoGi
Straight to the point. Satoshi Ishii is the master at demonstrating the techniques. Variations are covered to study each technique more thoroughly.
simple yet didn't think about it during stand up
You can hear that English is not Ishii's first language but he breaks down well the techniques and the content is great!
Satoshi Ishii san is really good! he teaches so many different takedown options!
Sensei Satoshi Ishii created a very sensible instructional about his favourite tachi waza and back take options. It is about solutions for open and closed stances also called opposite and same side stances. It is about utilizing it against oppinents same height/weight and taller/havier ones. He exactly showes where to place your head and body to avoid counters. He is explaining every technique step by step including solo demos. Highly recommend!
This instructional really helped me start implementing judo throws in no gi.
great
Level up your standing game with new wave judo
Great work
In this video you learn such specific adjustments - it's really helped my application of the techniques
A select few throws demonstrated from different grip positions, along with chaining throws. I really enjoyed this product.
If you're transitioning into No-Gi, this is a must have. Highly recommended for Wrestlers as well.
Great judo techniques for no gi. Thanks
Amazing attention to details in this instructional
Amazing technique broken English
Teaches the judo throws that work best in bjj as opposed to teaching it from a judo perspective which makes it more applicable.
So many good tips for no gi judo and what throws and trips are most effective
Great stuff from Satoshi. Very good for a overview of the positions and if you want to dive deeper it will lead you in the right direction
Super instructional! Covers the techniques every grappler should know for a effective stand up game. These judo throws have made an instant impact in my game. My teammates want to know what secret weapon I’ve found.
He covers a very full set of techniques and give all the info needed for you to make the techniques work. This will definitely help my stand up game.
A great instructional!
Yes I liked it
I applied the techniques in this video in class and with having no Judo background I had immediate success. If you want to be a well balanced grappler I definitely recommend.
Fantastic, really added a new dimension to my game
This is probably the best instructional I've seen for transferring judo skills to a no-gi scenario. As far as content goes, this is among the most packed instructionals on BJJFanatics in terms of actual moves and techniques- Ishii generally doesn't spend a lot of time discussing the theoretical background of the moves he's showing, it's mostly just "this is the move and how to apply it". I've pesonally been using it to supplement Danaher's Standing2Ground - Danaher's course provides all the theory you could ever want for understanding why things work, whereas New Wave Judo is better for just reviewing material with your buddies before/after class because of how succinct Ishii is in his instruction.
great instructional, a fresh perspective in the standing game
was able to hit a few techniques I had watched earlier before class. instant game changer
Great video for anybody doing no-gi grappling, especially for those with a judo background.
Finally! Ive been waiting so long for an instructional on no-gi Judo and then it comes from my country man Satoshi Ishii no less is a dream come true in every way. Needless to say I picked it up without thinking and was not dissapointed. The techniques demonstrated are easy to grasp and train but hard to master. However it provides a perfect starting point to implement Judo in MMA and no-gi grappling and in a concise manner. As someone who knows basic wrestling and decent BJJ this will compliment my grappling significantly.
This was a great instructional. It’s great to have such a high level Judo player and Mixed Martial Artist teaching the Judo game with no-gi and wrestling applications.
