I love this — so much of expertise is tacit knowledge, and so much tacit knowledge may be picked up by watching a practitioner in action. Even without explicit instruction! Reminds me of this piece by

I got about ~40% faster solving sudoku after casually watching an hour of YouTube (turns out sudoku YouTube is a thing) and now I’m wondering how many other things in life are shaped like this.

FWIW, video instruction and study is a huge part of modern Judo training, and it wasn't a thing when I was still competing. What's changed? Widespread access to Judo competition videos via Youtube, of course!

Interesting, considering the embodiment practice nature of Judo. What do you feel are especially suited in video form, but what can’t be replicated? I feel “presence” very difficult to describe but powerful in person.

Yeah, definitely something can use after training with teachers for a while. Beginners would benefit more from solid fundamentals. This looks like a great shortcut for someone more experienced.
