True landmark and given its history it could get called “One of the most important places for American Judo” for the orthodox minded…myself included! I’m going to give them a try very soon but they seem integral from what I’ve researched about the place. As an MMA & martial arts enjoyer I feel that in the West each martial art is marginalized in education here (insider looking in here!) Anyway I am 30.; but I am ready for you guys and will be there soon on an adults night! I will contact you guys in the next couple days when your phone line is open! 🥋👏
