  • Detailed and Super Knowledgeable

    Have to edit my old review to add that I am disappointed to hear non judo content - if I want to hear about PhD programs I’d go elsewhere. Still love the show, but hoping it gets back to its core.

    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.
