  • Hello everyone! Thank you so much for watching my first Vlog on my channel. My students helped me to create this Vlog. They told me it would be good to share my story with others in case it helps anyone else out there who may have a desire to follow their dreams.
    Im so grateful to everyone who has helped me along my journey and I want to give back to others through the art of Judo. Many of you may be struggling mentally, physically, emotionally during these tough times we are facing.I truly believe we can rise up and move forward toward a better life through Judo.
    My goal is to help others by sharing my knowledge. I hope I can add value to you through this channel and my teachings. Thank you for watching!
    If you can help us, we deeply appreciate your suppourt.

    Most talented instructor I have had for judo or any sport, the judo I was taught by sensei Sasaki became the backbone for my wrestling and Jiu jitsu career.

    I've only been to Sasaki Dojo once as a drop in student; maybe a month ago. I really felt like I was in the presence of greatness when I stepped into the dojo. Amazing teachers and amazing students.

    I have been wanting to learn a martial art for many years and finally this year I decided to do it… Who you choose to teach you is such an important decision, and I did a lot of research and everything kept pointing me here. I went to my 1st class yesterday and I saw an incredible athlete with great knowledge who more importantly cares for his students. I realized I found where I want to begin my journey .

    Sensei, I am really moved with your story. Unfortunately, I am in Texas, but I understand you and your struggle. Judo has been a great tool for me for many years to become a better person, unfortunately I broke an ankle and never returned to a tatami again. But listening to you motivated me to return to judo and what it represents. You are more than welcome in my home if you come to Houston, this is your home too.

    My Dojo means everything too. Not because of the physical structure. Without the dojo, the many positive life changes for our judoka, (made possible by judo) would not have been possible. That would be a tragedy. So the sacrifices necessary for me, become life changing opportunities for many others. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

    Very versatile and talented judoka/sensei… truly hard to make a living as an elite Judo athlete (in Japan.. as he stated), which is unlike most other sports “a way of life”, and barely making ends meet… nevertheless, you get up from throws and defeats to the randori of life again and again to challenge yourself first, then circumstances

    I train with Ryan Vargas, one of your students I would definately want to do your open mat so I can drill, I love drilling. But it is hard to get others drill with me because they always want to roll. You are the perfect size. I am 5'2 so you would be a great partner for me sensei

    Great story, judo has helped me through some tough times, been off the mat for a bit now because of covid19 stuff, but id love to get back on it. This might be off topic but do you allow leg takedowns in randori at your dojo? I can't find any place that will allow it, and i feel like im not addressing a fundamental judo aspect. When i have a chance ill def visit. Thank you
