This is the Director of the SMAA Judo Division explaining and performing classical Kodokan judo. Nicklaus Suino Sensei, and other members of the SMAA Judo Division, teach judo as more than a sport. For Suino Sensei, judo is a profound form of personal development that is also effective for self-defense. Suino Sensei will be teaching authentic Kodokan judo, as devised by its founder, at the upcoming SMAA Seminar in Utah. This is traditional judo as Suino Sensei studied in Japan.
