Interesting idea or teaching to a wider audience but the pricing seems "a tad" too high.
Thoughts?
Note: It's run by Matt D'aquino.

I like the dedication and contributions Matt has done for Judo. I am very appreciative of all he has done and continues to do. Having said that the pricing structure for University of Judo is a little too high for me. Please note in case Matt sees this: I'm not saying the price is too high. I'm just saying it's a bit too high for me.

Are they using the term University in a humorous way or are they seriously purporting to be running a University?
It's a universal currency. I doubt he's trying to start a University physically. Online education is becoming more popular, the downside is it is less recognized.Judo Dad wrote:They want payment in US $, so probably based in USA

He sounded like an Aussie to me, is he operating in Australia or the US?
I suppose it's an online education thing, I've never really learn't much from watching videos, I prefer being there doing it I find it easier to learn that way but that's just me.
A Somewhat harsh assessment, I fully agree though.Jonesy wrote:Not quite as bad as Dr Ferguson, bits lets step back. This is a 27 year old one time Australian Olympian in the extra-lightweight -60 kg division, who lost his one and only fight in 20s being thrown for ippon.
He has no World or Olympic medals to his name and I do not know what coach education or sports science qualifications he has either.
What is applicable at -60kg does not scale that well across the weight divisions and I am not convinced by the "never been seen before" competiton techniques.
I would put the email in the Trash folder and spend they money elsewhere.
When I said trashing I was referring to the email rather than your post, I'm of the same opinion as you.

Mind you it has a very positive review here: http://theselfdefenceexpert.com/review-of-matt-d-aquinos-university-of-judo-the-membership-site/
He did indeed and got thrown for ippon in 20s in his one and only fight. However, it is a wonderful achievement to be an Olympian and congratulations to him though - he achieved what most of us can only dream of.faxed wrote:jonesey:
you are being too harsh on matt d'aquino.
i have seen his videos, and have found them to be very clear and helpful.
channelling joshua resnick here, but matt d'aquino participated in the olympics.
Inoue's stuff is very good, I got it free through my club as they tend to lend Dvd's from person to person... I have ripping software so I canJudo Dad wrote:I watched an Adams YouTube and picked up a handy ne-waza technique which I put into use at the club the same day, I was like a kid with a new toy . I think Adams is an excellent communicator, not all champions are.
I also have the Koga A New Wind DVD and found that very useful to. So thanks Jonesy now I will be looking out for stuff byYeon and Inoue.
