“Training in Jodo under Yonaitis Sensei has been great fun and incredibly fulfilling. His knowledge and experience of the art is immediately apparent, but he’s great at meeting me where I stand in ability and is exceptionally good at guiding his students to be the best they can be. I can wholeheartedly recommend it.” — J. Hadley
