Senpai Todd is a great teacher and spends much of his class and spare time helping new students. In addition you become part of a global organization and family with dojos around the world. If you're in New York, weve got a dojo; Austraila, dojo; Japan, San Antonio, Los Angeles and many more cities all have dojos which will be happy to see you if you want to train while on a trip or if you move. I myself have trained at three different dojos. They're all great and you feel like family as soon as you walk in the door. \r
