Sensei David is one of the best martial arts instructors I have ever trained with. He has deep expertise in both gi and no-gi Judo, holds a black belt in Judo, and is extremely proficient in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He’s also knowledgeable across multiple martial arts disciplines and has a rare, genuine understanding of old-school Judo, including leg grabs that many instructors no longer teach. What truly sets Sensei David apart is that his knowledge goes beyond sport. He understands self-defense in real-world contexts, which removes a lot of guesswork and makes his teaching practical, not just theoretical. Although the club focuses on Judo, you won’t feel limited at all. I’ve trained directly with David, and he is exceptional at breaking techniques down clearly, creating a safe and welcoming training environment, and making randori both fun and productive. He ensures you get plenty of repetitions while still applying techniques live, which accelerates learning without sacrificing safety. Judo is a challenging art, but it’s an incredibly rewarding one—and with Sensei David’s background, including wrestling, you won’t miss the elements that made traditional Judo so effective. At the same time, you’ll gain insight into what actually works outside of pure sport settings. If you’re serious about learning Judo the right way—technical, practical, and enjoyable—I cannot recommend Sensei David highly enough.
