No-Gi Judo Throws – In-Depth Review

No-gi entries that upgrade pummeling into real throw attempts.

The Bottom Line

You learn to turn ties into throw threats without the gi. Content is organized by tie rather than by throw name, which makes linking easier. You will not get collar-and-sleeve setups that fail in no-gi.

⚡️ Quick facts

Skip if: You fear amplitude

Tech focus: Tai Otoshi, Uchi Mata, Koshi Guruma, Sumi Gaeshi, Osoto Gari, Underhook Entries, Overhook Entries

Biggest takeaway: Ties dictate throws.

Wait for daily deal. I liked practicing entries by tie first, then layering throw choices.

Why Shintaro Higashi?

Higashi teaches no-gi grips through head position, underhooks, and overhooks, then maps them to classic throws. Expect clean coaching on timing from hand fighting to entry.
