I give this set 4 stars out of 5.
What do you get:
Disc 1 - Basic Judo. It presents all the throws, but it is not going into details for all throws (comparing to Cunningham's Ikkyo and Nikyo series ) . It is detailing the most effective competition throws, and it has great drills for these (Uchi Mata, Seoi Nage, Osoto Gari, Kouchi, Ouchi, ...)
Disk 2 - Hundreds of combinations. Again, very strong focus on competition. Very useful set of combos.
Disk 3 - Competitive Judo. You pretty much get a video clinic of a famous French competitive Judo - grips, strategies, tricks, combos. Very useful.
The quality of the production is pretty good. Voice translation in English is ok.
If you are traditionalist Judo guy, you may find this Judo a little bit strange.
If you have been following international, specially European Judo scene - you will
find this DVD set a gold mine. It is pretty much a sports judo clinic delivered through your TV. I used some of the drills (for morote soei n.) in our Judo practice, and I could see immediate results.
Similar to:
Mike Swain's complete Judo DVD set. Mike's production quality is better, and demonstrations are sometimes more forceful, but Marc's competition drills and tricks are way better.
Where did I get these DVDs from:
I got these DVDs from www.budovideos.com for $90. They are kind of pricey, but for serious and aspiring judoka as I consider myself they are kind of a good buy.

Get to www.imineo.com at the section of martial arts/judo and you can buy them (at least the two last ones) by 10$. You download them to your computer. However, they are in french but the movements are universal!!
