Chiropractor…ever since then have been a Judoka/Ju-jitsuka…he introduced me to Camp Bushido training camp in Colorado springs 1990-1996...
The experience was so amazing that he encourage his students to plan to go with him. Sensei FreelandI has enjoyed teaching kids seeing the hopefuls to go on, or not …and the personal gains of some……helps keep you young at heart too , with them…with seniors though get to do the things can’t with the kids…
