Looks like a good video. I think Judo is a much more effective system of self defense than Aikido. Many of those standing arm locks just don't work in real situations. Even more effective is a combo of karate (from a good school) and judo. Aikido is a good system to get into to learn the principles of movement and redirection after one has matery of another, more practical and effective system such as Judo, Karate or linear Kung Fu such as Wing Chun.
Do you have an reseller in Croatia (Zagreb if possible)? Because I would like to buy some dvds of yours and I can't afford the expensive travel to the US :)...

Chokes and strikes are no basic instincts of self defense?

@DragonLordReviews the girl is definitely an elite judoka by the movement speed,no way those throws are basic to a non grappler female.

Great. I love the (all too rare) rational approach to training.
