Good primer on judo history up to ca. 1997. Some good competition & demo clips.

The previous reviewer was probably right - for a person who is not a judoka and has no clue about the sport, this DVD won't make much sense. But for a big fan of judo, it is great!!! You'll love it!

This is a very interesting documentary about the history of this Japanese discipline. It shows some people who has practiced JUDO as the French man of science Frédéric JOLIOT-CURIE.

My Sensei had been showing this ancient VHS tape of The HIstory of Judo. Because the tape was showing significant signs of wear, I bought this for him to show at our dojo. He always showed the tape to the new people during the first class just to give a brief history and for them to understand what they were getting into. Sensei was so excited the first time he showed this new DVD to the class. It provided the details that any Judoka would want to know yet it gave some basic perspectives for the new students joining the class. It is a fantastic DVD for anyone interested in Judo to watch. There are some parts that a beginner may need some explanation for but overall it is entertaining for all.

A great documentary on the history of Judo in Europe. It shows the founder Jigoro Kano Sensei performing on video which is great to see. It also shows outstanding Judo competitors. If you enjoy the art of Judo you will enjoy this DVD.
