Jigoro Kano taught us that through Judo each person can develop a strong character. At Pacific Rim, students are committed to becoming true judoka, and I could truly feel their dedication to training and making deep friendships through mutual prosperity.
Mr. Yasuyuki MunetaMichael Martyn has a tremendous passion for martial arts that led him to Japan to learn the true meaning of Judo and developing people through practice. He is showing us what true budo looks like.
Mr. Shintaro NakanoPacific Rim is a great dojo with many tatami, world-class equipment and a beautiful building. Students practice hard with respect and seriousness and I could see their love for learning Judo. I can’t wait to return and teach at Pacific Rim again.
Mr. Changrim AnMike Martyn has a Japanese soul. I have met many instructors from around the world, but he is different. He understands Kano’s vision for judo and is a true judoka. I am happy to know him.
Mrs. Noriko KitadaAt Pacific Rim you have a chance to learn martial arts from a very diligent and sincere instructor. In all my travels, I have never seen such a great and beautiful dojo and my dream is to one day own such a wonderful dojo. I highly recommend Pacific Rim!
