on the hip as he gets thrown. Dave discusses his strategy and indicates that his objective is to always win the fight and not fight for points. He finishes by showing the defense to the leg pick for those who do not wish to sacrifice the score. He says it is risky to go for the subs, but that is just how he chooses to fight. G. Single Leg to Triangle: In this move, Dave turns away from the throw similarly to Obj F, but he circles his leg to the outside and then turns back in to transition to the triangle. Very nice move. H. Kataguruma to Armlock: This is a cool move that incorporates the same roll move from Obj B, this time the opponent gets the Fireman's Carry Throw and Dave shows the proper angle to setup the roll and how to roll into the throw to end in a great armlock (or choking position). You guys will like this. I. Uchimata to Armlock: This is another classic judo transition and is completed similarly to the osoto gari variation. Great details on getting the uchimata. J. Kouchi Gari: In this final move, Dave does a star guard pass the instant he pulls the Kouchi Gari to get out of the guard before his opponent can set up. This move ends in a kimura, and there are some good details on where to position your arm and grip.

This dvd (as well as dvd 1 of the new Jacare set) show me that there are a lot of transitions and throws that are becoming a part of the jiujitsu gameplan. I really think judo and bjj crossovers are showing a new evolution in the sport. There are technical setups and positions with fast attacks based on practice. For the gi, I think this judo/bjj melting pot is just as important as the wrestling/bjj one is for no-gi.

Finally, I think this dvd is well worth it. Personally, I enjoy any dvd that crosses sports and shows me how to utilize differing perspectives. Whether it is Sambo for Bjj (Yakimov's leglocks), Judo for Bjj, Russian Judo for Judo (Yakimov Russian), Wrestling for Nogi, or Bjj for any of the others, there is a lot to learn out there. This dvd shows some great attacks, defensive work, and sound theory behind how Dave plays bjj/judo. As a judo dvd, this one stands with limited company at the top and as a judo dvd I feel it does the same. The flying attacks and armbar setups really have to be seen. I really think Dave has one of those styles of grappling and finishing (similarly to a Garcia or Jacare) that many of us wish we had.
