Product Review: iFightVideo's Judo Throws 1

iFightVideo
I was lucky enough to be given a copy of iFightVideo's Judo Throws 1 app for the iPhone. After reviewing the product I must say that it is really slick. The video resolution is crisp and the audio is clear, excellent production by iFightVideos.

The throws are performed by Senseis Brent Goodall and Tauasa Timoteo from Team Sacramento. Goodall Sensei explains the throws in great detail and the throws are shown from various angles to help you get a sense of the throw's mechanics from different perspectives. Besides the video of the throws there is also an option to view the throw as a slide show with or without step-by-step instructions on the mechanics of the particular throw.



This is an excellent product from iFightVideos and Team Sacramento. I highly recommend it as audio/visual aide to your Judo training. If you are like me than you constantly are think of ways to improve your Judo and this video allows you to basically have unlimited private lessons from two top level Judo Black Belts.

I firmly believe that nothing takes the place of mat time and training, as going to practice is akin to going to school and hearing the teachers lecture; having access to training supplements like the Judo Throws 1 app is like going home to study and take notes for the final. Could you pass the class with just the lecture notes and going to school? Yes of course, but if you go home and read the text and study you know you will be that much more prepared for the test, which for us is the competition. This App is the text book!

The throws that are discussed are: Grips, Osoto-Gari, Te-Gurma, Tai-Otoshi, Yoko-Tomoe-Nage, Osoto-Gari, Harai-Goshi, Soto-Makikomi and many more.

The App is available for both the iPhone and the Droid. iFightvideo's website is: http://www.ifightvideo.com/
Team Sacramento's website is: http://www.teamsacramento.org/

Disclaimer: I received no monetary compensation for this review, if something is garbage I would say so, this app is of a very high quality and I personally use it on a regular basis.

Be Blessed!!!
