Hard Knocks Muay Thai & Judo

My son is 70% spectrum autism and the govt wants to put him in a box. My husband, a former Marine says its all BS and that parents make the difference. He encouraged our son to take Judo and that made a huge difference. My son is beaming with confidence and bragged how he did a throw during rendori. I thank God for Hard Knocks and for hard men that refuse to accept the status quo as normal.

I started judo around six. When I saw some reviews that look like a snowflake wrote them and they were negative about this dojo, I knew this is where my son would train. As a former Marine I can say without question this where you should train if you want discipline and spirit!

I trained Judo starting at around 6 years old and received an Orange Belt under Sensei Nori Bunasawa in Tustin, CA. Due to parents and divorce problems, mom and I moved away, so I started Muay Thai in Corona, CA under one of the very first Thai Kick boxers in the USA, but I always trained Judo moves and found a few other judo kids with wealthier parents to train with (unsanctioned). After that, I moved around a lot and trained with anyone I could in any type of martial art, but judo was my base and I was very good at the few moves I had mastered. I knew I could beat pretty much any foe. Also, meditation, breathing, sparring and discipline were very similar to the Marine Corps mentality my father taught me, which I too became. I read a few reviews by people who claim to be males, and "fathers," apparently upset these Kru or Sensei were not weak enough to teach their sons, or were too hard on their boys. My advice to them is to stay home. This dojo is EXACTLY what a MAN needs if they expect their son to achieve in the real world, in my opinion. Jits is awesome too and I have trained with the very best. I love Thai kickboxing. But the Japanese time tested traditions are ONLY found in Judo, and we Marines (and the Russians) know the Japanese tradition is second to none insofar as passing on the warrior ethos and overall skill-set. I recommend this martial arts academy as second to none in the USA or Europe (I have lived in both places) .. and have utmost respect for these selfless men who are teaching the next generation of true warriors. For the weaker class, there is always generic Karate or BJJ. But for those who want that next level of unadulterated reality, and tradition, I think this is the place for you. Semper Fidelis!

Great gym. You will get in shape fast. Renzo is a good coach and will get you right. Good crew that trains there and everyone is welcoming and will give help if needed.
