Hello, everybody.
I'm Dave, and I just decided that I want to start *relearning judo. I learned judo in Korea for 2 years when I was ten years old, but now as a college student, I want to start from the beginning. Do you guys know any dojos in Buffalo, NY that are approved [wrong word] by the Kodokan? I also need to buy a new Dobok or Ki. I was looking at some Mizuno double weaves.. What do you think? I appreciate all comments. Thanks for your interest! Dave |

Hi Humility and welcome to the forum.
I would look into Kintora club, the instructors are great! For the Gi (what is a Dobok?) the club members will be able to help (they certainly have club discount), a single weave, cheap Gi (Fuji, Mizuno) should be good for your first few years. |

I'm sorry, I must be getting old................
I read this as "A Buffalo in a Dojo" and thought to myself "this must be an Americanism for a Bull in a China Shop" I really must get my eyes tested again, I'm wearing dyslexic spectacles.

Thanks.
I just got in contact with Kintora dojo, and will be starting (kind-of) tomorrow. By the way, should I get single weave or a soft double weave? Again, Thanks. Dave |

Yesterday was the first time in seven years to be in a dojo. KinTora was great. I met a lot of great people like Sensei Nick, Sensei Tony, and especially Sensei Eric Joseph. Sensei Eric taught me the five basic grappling/chokes. His instructions were clear, very humble, and very interesting. Later, I found out that he is known for his grappling. Thank you, Sensei Eric.
I can't wait 'til next Tuesday. It's seems so far from today! |
