Dojo to celebrate grand opening Saturday

I have know Ed and his lovely wife Nancy for about 3 yrs. He has always conducted himself honorably and above board in all matters in my and my wife's presence

Two years ago my wife enrolled in a self defense program offered by Ed at his dojo. My wife completed the course of study and brought me to her last two classes to use me to practice on and to show me all she had learned. The whole process was very impressive and gave my wife a real sense of pride and self assurance. The program was through, professional and comprehensive.

My 6yr. old grandson Ryan knew about his grandma's "Judo" training and expressed an interest in learning. I asked Ed about possible training but he said 6 was too young. He did agree however to test Ryan at 61/2 yrs old. Ed expressed reservations about Ryan but agreed to start him conditionally on Sat. mornings to see how well he took instructions and corrections. After a couple of months Ryan proved himself and began regular classes with the BIG kids. Ryan is only 3'6" but he now walks around like he's 4'tall, he is so proud of his accomplishments at the Dojo with Sensei Ed (Ryan's words).

Because of my personal experience with Ed I have entrusted him with my wife's and grandsons training in Martial Arts and friendship. He has not let me down.
