Judo dvds?

Last Saturday we were, well the women in class, going back over the finer points of some basic power throws and it made me think how having a dvd or mini series would be good to refer to at home since I can sometimes skip several throws for weeks or months then when I try to do them even in Uchi Komi they are not technically correct. I have a copy of the Kodokan tachiwaza and newaza but its not very clear. Has anyone produced something more recently which is technically good with better production standards?

 

I have dave camirillos position impossible and total judo by huizinga and there both very good, tbh tyere a lot of judo on youtube but the quality is mixed.

 

ive also heard good things about rick youngs set - [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/s/ref=mw_dp_a_s?k=Attacking%20Ne-Waza"]Amazon.co.uk: Attacking Ne-Waza[/ame]

 

Found this on Youtube the other day. Not sure on the legality of it being available but it's well worth a watch.

and theres always the video on -

Hmmm, that's the very opposite of what I'm looking for, but still Judo. Even the BJA Judo Education site is better, though not all techniques are illustrated well, some not at all.

Has anyone seen these? Not advertised on the Fighting Films website so maybe just a limited run.

Nice sequence of throws...shows the energy direction well by rolling thru the techniques ..

 

I've found Mike Swain's DVDs to be really well produced.

 

If you can still get them the Ippon series ‘advance Judo’ both Tachi Waza and ne waza. Excellent demos and very good clear explanations. Don’t worry about the ‘advance tag’ as they do the basic throws, break them down plus some variations.

Also the very old BJA fighting films series. I only have the ‘the junior syllabus’ one, demo by Neil Adams and Chris Bowles. Once again an excellent tape.

I also have the ‘techniques fondamentales de Judo’ a black and white film (I have it in VHS from Budostore) possibly mid 1920s of two of the top Judo masters going through the throws in real time and then really slow motion breaking down the throw, showing the breakdown of the throw. The explanations are in kanji but it a great watch. To me it is like watching poetry in motion real art stuff.
In a funny sort of way quiet relaxing;watching the throws being done with such grace, poise and gentleness.

 

I might ask in the club, didn't even occur to me at the weekend, after the second beer not much did else did, alas. I was hoping there would be more on Fighting Films. Don't suppose they turn up on eBay?

 

My bad. I didn't see that Fighting Films list their dvds by latest release in categories, and there are lots more in the subcategories. Coaching is the one I am interested in, tabs on the top of the page for their other releases including Huizinga - Total Judo (which looks really impressive), Quellmalz - Olympic Judo, and the Inoue box set. The question is can I afford £62 plus p&p or do I try one of the others first? The Neil Adams - Grappling Series might be just what I need to refresh my understanding of submissions when not in class

When I took beginner and intermediate judo, I found this guys vids useful- [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rizlP_I0E6c"]Judo Lessons for Beginners : How to Do a Judo Front Fall with Roll - YouTube[/ame]
His more advanced stuff is probably useful as well.

 

I'm definitely not interested in anything on youtube (unless its at 720p and even then my laptop couldn't handle streaming that), like I said at the start just a quality dvd. Someone has posted part of the Neil Adams Grappling Guide but it's quite blurry, and that's only the second part on Chokes and Strangles.

Really now I've kinda answered my question, just wonder who has seen the various Fighting Films releases and if there are any other well produced releases, eBay is disappointing

 

Just google 'YouTube to mp4' you can download videos in mp4 format. Some sites let you download at a higher quality if its available. Especially useful for stuff you can't seem to find anywhere else anymore.

 

I second the usefulness of the Mike Swain dvds.

 

Jimmy Pedro's Instructionals are also very very good.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Pedro

- Also works with some famous BJJ and MMA people, so he has Judo for MMA, Judo for BJJ type of things available if that cross over side of things also interests you.

 

Second the Jimmy Pedro recommendation. Reduced the number of times I was being thrown in randori by about 50% after I used his DVDs on grip fighting.

I asked at the club before the summer break but didn't get a very helpful reply. "Depends what for" pretty much the message. I know the DVDs now cover a wide range on technique, competition methods and coaching but even so...

 

Total Judo is great, as are the Swain DVDs.

D'Aquino has some great videos on YouTube but I haven't bought anything of his yet.
