I've been a member of the dojo for 10 years now and have loved absolutely every moment of it. I can't speak highly enough about Sensei, Coach Shawn, Coach Cook and Senpai Melinda. Every single one of them is a master of their craft.
My son started out at Cooper's after having an instance with bullying at school. Sean Cooper, and his team of great coaches, provided him with very practical tools to help defend himself.
Yesterday, I went to my first class at Kokoro Judo Club. It was a very relaxed atmosphere, there were was a wide range of skill levels amongst the judo practitioners there, and everyone with whom I interacted was very welcoming to me.
