I'm not a wrestler so I try and use a lot of judo to counter wrestle. This is great so far!!
very awesome
Good tips and tricks
Solid technique to help you get those standing takedowns in BJJ.
He made the techniques easy to learn. I liked the simple instruction
This is a good and dense introduction to no-gi judo for BJJ by Satoshi Ishii. Learning the techniques shown here, you will be throwing many people. I recommend getting the New Wave Judo after this if you want to get deeper into no-gi judo.
This videos changing my game form takedowns to submission
Great stuff, even for a beginner.
Great adaptations for nogi grappling
Highly recommended this course. Now I start every fight standing.
Helped my standup game tremendously!
Good instructional. I have been working on my standup game. Working on implementing a couple of these in there.
Despite the language barrier, all of the techniques were easily understood. Worth be discounted price that I paid for it.
Satoshi Ishi shows his olympic proven technique with some twists for nogi. Stepped my takedown game up.
Pros: You are learning from the most accomplished Judoka to ever make the transition to MMA and NoGi grappling. He shows a few selected techniques, but they are really all you will need if you are looking to adapt your judo game to NoGi. Cons: His English is not very good and it shows. This will probably not be a problem, as you can follow the techniques and the instructions quite well, just something you should be aware of.
Love seeing all time greats like Ishii share his knowledge. No-Gi Judo should be it's own sport.
Good video
Excellent no gi judo instructional
Great instructional for no-gi grapplers, wrestlers, and judo players. Highly recommended.
A very useful tool to improve your grappling ability in judo style!!!!!
Good
I have been doing judo for a little over 2 years and I found this instructional very helpful for translation grip combinations and throws to a no gi setting. The combinations shown here are also helpful in the gi as well. For someone with a judo background, I would give this 5 stars. However, if you do not have a judo background I would say that this video gets 4 stars as you will need to supplement the setups shown within with some other instruction on some of the details for O Soto Gara, Ouchi Gari, Uchi Mata, and Tai Otoshi. If you know any of those throws already, this will be very helpful for your no gi game.
This is a great video as an intro to nogi takedowns using judo techniques. I would have liked to have seen a greater breakdown of the techniques and setups.
Awesome and straight forward
I'm only 10 min into the instructional. I'm giving it 5 stars! Although, I can tell Satoshi doesn't speak english as his first language. I understand the lessons maybe even more thoroughly and what he's communicating despite the language barrier. Learning from the masters has it's own way of assimilating into my technique. Like I said I'm only 10 min into it and i've already picked up some fresh ideas to implement in my game!
Ishii is a great teacher - will show you basic, effective techniques perfectly.
This video show some high level judo techniques for anyone who is trying to translate their judo to a no go context. Great content!
This did has detailed instruction and fantastic content. The selection of judo moves are only the ones we need. It has helped my stand up immensely
Easy techniques to understand and apply.
Satoshi Ishi is great at breaking down his techniques in an easily understood fashion. An impressive feat, and he does it in a second language no less.
Great and detailed instructions. Love this DVD!!!
This is a very good instructional on takedowns and will be useful to improve your standing game.
Is a very clear material, with some good techniques. Un my opinion more for starters but not for experts.
Two thumbs up, found it easy to understand. Moves explained in detail, looking forward to my next class to drill.
Very good
The techniques showed in the video are pretty cool and viable. What I have enjoyed the most about the content, is the frequency of the techniques‘ performances. (that helps also a lot, when Satoshi have minor problems with explaining a technique in English) So the order was worth it!
Looking forward to putting these moves into my stand up.
This is a fantastic video from a true legend in the Judo and MMA world. In particular, an amazingly talented Judoka like Ishii-san shares his own insight from years of experience both in and out of the Gi for a new audience. This is very well-done and easy to follow. Highly recommended!! As a 51-year old White Belt and former Karateka, I really appreciate any type of learning I can get, both in person and online. It's definitely "a huge honor for me" to be learning from so many wonderful teachers online at BJJ Fanatics!
The instruction was outstanding! Clear and easy to understand.
It's not self-evident how to adapt Judo to function w/o a gi, but Satoshi has figured it out and gives some good help. I got a lot out of it, and enjoyed it.
Satoshi gives you his favorite techniques and a bit of theory behind them. Good content.
This dvd gives you takedowns that are effective mainly from the clinch. It is a pleasure to learn from someone who has been at the top of the game. You can trust in the technique he is teaching because he has used them competition. Being an older man I need to learn how to use leverage and angle instead of muscle and power. This dvd shows you that.
Great product.I have a green belt in judo (I mainly train to supplement my MMA and BJJ) and got a lot out of this product (great price... far cheaper than other products). Although the video covers many basic judo 'moves' these are adapted for MMA/no gi in an easy to follow, yet effective manner. I highly recommend Ishii's work for anyone interested in improving their no gi or MMA game. Not only does Ishii have a gold medal in judo, he is also an active (and successful) MMA fighter. After re-watching some of his fights and highlight videos, it is easy to spot out techniques in this product that are used in his actual MMA fights.
It's an excellent DVD for filling in the gaps. I highly recommended.
I saw the trailer for this and was pretty fired up, as the NoGi Judo game is very helpful for those of us who perhaps didn’t wrestle in high school etc. The cost is reasonable, but the content is a little light. You may get a new approach to a foot sweep or two but this may let you down if you were a fan of Karo Parisyan and the like and wanted a deep dive into their game.
