Great instructional. Audio is a little hard to hear sometimes but that's to be expected.
AA
Some excellent details on how to utilise Judo technique in No-Gi Grappling. Explaining the importance of closing distance and getting comfortable in the chest to chest position is a game changer. Reliable techniques

Very complete, efficient and well taught.
One of the best instructors out there
Great instructions but bad audio
Great video about different techniques, though the sound quality is very bad, hard to hear sometimes.
Cool techniques
As a judo black belt, I thought this was a great instructional. I've often felt my experience did not translate into BJJ immediately. For example, I would often get big throws at the cost of conceding bad positions in nogi. This series does a great job bridging the gap by sharing important details about distance and grips, as these are areas that are much different in gi vs. nogi. The uke is also awesome.
Cool techniques
I started watching this content from Shintaro and drilled these concepts and techniques. Great breakdown if you been trying to do judo throws in no-gi but haven't been getting any success. 10/10 would recommend.
I've previously boxed but am totally new to Judo, Ju-jitsu etc... these are very helpful and will prove invaluable for my day to day job as an LEO.
Great no gi judo
This has helped me understand simple throw to instantly add into my bjj. I enjoyed this course alot.
The instruction answered some of my questions. Good.

I liked it not bad
Great instructional! I learned quite a bit on positional dominance, hand fighting, getting the correct off balancing to setup throws. Shintaro does a great job of building the no gi judo system and has multiple entry ways so that you actually get to practice this in the gym. As long as your opponents dont start pulling guard every time. I also appreciated Eugene's input from both the pt and uke perspectives. Overall I would recommend this to anyone who wants to become a better stand up grappler, you can get a lot from this and there are still a lot of opportunities to mix in your own throws that aren't covered (kata guruma, te guruma, etc).
Very interesting and helpful
Great, I've been learning a lot
Good
I got it hoping it would carry over to Sumo and I think it will
I got this hoping it will carry over to sumo and I definitely think it will
Prof Shiny is terrific and amazing instructor. You tube channel is also great. I have many of his instructionals and they are all super helpful for learning judo both gi and no gi. 100% must buys.
Amazing material, love the amount of takedowns!
I crapped myself by the end of the first chapter, really!
Super helpful and easy to follow
This is a great complement to the companion instructional covering Foot Sweeps and Trips. Between the two, that one covers safer takedowns, while this one has the flashier, higher amplitude throws. Bigger risks to set up, but also a bigger reward when you can land them.
Overall I think it’s explained well, I was able to get help from my professors to clean up my technique now just got to keep drilling them
Once again, a great collection of techniques from the man himself
great details
