The website is www.nycjudo.com. The classes are taught by Matsumura Sensei, who also teaches at NYAC and 3x Olympian and ADCC competitor Celita Schutz's judo academy. The classes at the YMCA are open to beginners. At RGA, I would also suggest taking a private lesson with Leo "Tunico". His judo is sick...he'll throw you on your head for sure.

Obviously, I'll need to do more than just read a book (I'll need to practice!) but I do feel that this was a very helpful step. I've learned a lot already. If you're interested, this is the book I bought: Jeff G The administrator has disabled public write access. | Report to moderator   Logged
