Jin Iizumi’s Legendary Soft Judo DVD Series covers all of the fundamentals of Judo. Most Judo DVDs gloss over these key fundamentals. All the technical components of the series set it apart from others. Because Iizumi was trained by Mifune (direct student of Kano - Founder of Judo), he has insight others do not. This is shown in his DVD series. It is like having a modern Mifune in DVD form.  Judo using the proper principals should flow effortlessly. Iizumi Sensei has finally produced a DVD series that conveys these ideals in a easy to follow format.

Awesome!! The DVD set with Jin Iizumi was extremely well put together. I wasn’t quite sure what I’d be looking for in a judo instructional, so when I saw how clearly it transitioned from an open mat perspective to Jin Izumi giving step-by-step instructions, I was impressed. They covered everything, from learning basic kazushi all the way to advanced techniques. If I were a beginner, I would have been able to build a solid base and as an experienced player, I have been able to build on my base as well as improve my more advanced throws. It seems to me that any person with or without prior knowledge of judo can learn from this series.

I started learning judo about three years ago. I now compete on the black belt level and have spent time training at the Kodokan in Japan. Iizumi’s smooth, technical style matches much of what I was taught there. I was not surprised to learn that the Kodokan gave him the rank of fifth Dan when he trained there so many years ago. I especially enjoyed when Iizumi would be teaching classes and you would get that live atmosphere. It was a nice change of pace. Each throw and position was given considerable time. Usually when encountering instructionals it is the opposite.

This was money and time well spent. I recommend it to anyone hoping to improve there overall game. From beginner to advanced you will find something you were missing.
