Customer Reviews
Great informative content for all judo enthusiasts
It’s my go to podcast for all things judo. As a beginner female judoka who started in my late thirties, I appreciate the wealth of knowledge delivered in a clean, relatable and informative way
Better than I imagined
This is a really good podcast for any martial artist, not just judokas.
Detailed and Super Knowledgeable
My favorite part is hearing about the training system in Japan. Would love to learn more about training styles across the world. In any case I love this show and have been binging it for days now - highly recommended for any fan of judo and grappling.
