"Background" for a Judo sensei? - 09/11/09 04:51 PM
Common theme, new twist for me at least.
Visited a local Judo class last night. Exploring a class for my teen aged boys. Very small group but in general liked most of what I saw. Attentive, friendly, focused. Not militant, yet nobody lounging around. To quote children's storys "...it was jusssssssst right..."
Want to do a quick background check on the senior teacher. The internet seaches showed almost literally nothing about the gentleman. The single grain of information I found, (if right) should make him pretty prominant within North Eastern US Judo circles...
I want to be careful before committing more time, more effort or certainly any money. Where do you look for confirmation re: background on Judo teachers when you are confirming their claims of training and rank(ing)?
Where do you look specifically for this re: the art of the "Gentle Way"???
