Note that the video quality is pretty awful, but the sound works fine and content is pretty amazing.

In this instructional video series, Steve Cunningham presents not just the mechanics of throwing techniques, but the critical technical information about what makes them work. Cunningham-sensei provides an introductory survey of some of the principles of the various techniques of the Go Kyo No Waza and other throws of the Kodokan syllabus. He describes the basic movement pattern of each technique and talks the viewer through the elements involved in executing the throws according to the principle of Seiryoku Zenyo, or maximum efficiency.

A sample of defense, which is based on spoiling the principle of the attacker’s throw, is presented to enhance understanding of how the throw operates. Some historical or background information about the throws fills out this introductory but detailed analysis of each set of throwing techniques.
