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.

Great informative content for all judo enthusiasts

It’s my go to podcast for all things judo. As a beginner female judoka who started in my late thirties, I appreciate the wealth of knowledge delivered in a clean, relatable and informative way

Better than I imagined

This is a really good podcast for any martial artist, not just judokas.

Shintaro knows his stuff

Big fan of Shintaro and his knowledge on the inner and out workings of Judo. Very entertaining and informative.
