Many people join judo because they want to learn to defend themselves. But soon they leave the sport when they realise the 'gentle martial art' doesn't cater for self defence.
For the first time, only from Fighting Films, witness how self-defence can be incorporated into a judo lesson.
This DVD aims to promote the teaching of self defence by using judo techniques or judo related skills.
It shows the ideas of four lecturers, who are World experts in judo and self defence.
All four lecturers came together at the IJF Coaching Seminar in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, on 9th-10th October 2006, which was hosted by Yasuhiro Yamashita, the IJF Education and Coaching Director.
They first held lectures on their different types of self defence, before demonstrating their techniques in the dojo.
From Noboru Saito and Kuniko Takeuchi, who teach 'self protection' to children in the USA, to Eugene Domagata of France, who combines judo and jujutsu, and Fekrat Bahman, who teaches self defence to the Iranian police force, this DVD caters for all levels of self defence.
This is the third DVD in the IJF Coaching Series. Each expert's class is accessible individually, and easy to follow. Clear demonstrations including replays - are given by the lecturers, and are followed by examples from the IJF participants.
