Looks to me like "Poor Old Joe" is taking a fall for a living.

Looks pretty fake to me. More like gymnastics tumbling exercises.

Having trained in a karate-judo dojo for years, I can confirm the fakeness in this video (as if it's necessary). This looks more like an Arthur Murray dance class. You don't provide full resistance for training, but more than this. Why aren't the women wearing gi's? That's wrong. And judo in full make-up? I don't think so. The huge earrings would be especially helpful, when one of them ripped the bottom half of your ear off.

It could be Jujitsu. Big hooters could be used as a weapon then.

Very much fake, yes. Judo without gi is quite possible if you're using it for self-defense, but then the attacker would be in mufti, too. Either you're both wearing an obi or neither is. And why is that girl lifting weights when she should be practising her kata?
