"After reviewing the IJF teaching and coaching Judo to
children DVD, it reinforced the old adage "you are never
to old to learn". Some of the drills were similar to
what many of us have been teaching and several were new, full of
fun and good merit.
Having the opportunity to know all the Sensei's on the dvd, their track record,
and their student accomplishments it would be a no brainer to purchase
these - well done - educational dvd's for yourself or your club."
Personally, I hope there are more to come so we can have a modern library reference for all of us in the Judo community.
