I have been wanting to learn a martial art for many years and finally this year I decided to do it… Who you choose to teach you is such an important decision, and I did a lot of research and everything kept pointing me here. I went to my 1st class yesterday and I saw an incredible athlete with great knowledge who more importantly cares for his students. I realized I found where I want to begin my journey .

I train with Ryan Vargas, one of your students I would definately want to do your open mat so I can drill, I love drilling. But it is hard to get others drill with me because they always want to roll. You are the perfect size. I am 5'2 so you would be a great partner for me sensei

Sasake sensei, your story is amazing...never give up.... that your & my nindo ... I'm a big fan of you

Sensei your really champion not only in tatami also in live !

Beautiful story sensei. God Bless you, praying for you and donating. Seek God Sir. 😉

My Dojo means everything too. Not because of the physical structure. Without the dojo, the many positive life changes for our judoka, (made possible by judo) would not have been possible. That would be a tragedy. So the sacrifices necessary for me, become life changing opportunities for many others. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

Very versatile and talented judoka/sensei… truly hard to make a living as an elite Judo athlete (in Japan.. as he stated), which is unlike most other sports “a way of life”, and barely making ends meet… nevertheless, you get up from throws and defeats to the randori of life again and again to challenge yourself first, then circumstances

awesome story thank you for sharing your inspiring story! i'm older in my 40's now but i want to do judo after watching my two little daughters start

TORNADO UCHI MATA 💥

Most talented instructor I have had for judo or any sport, the judo I was taught by sensei Sasaki became the backbone for my wrestling and Jiu jitsu career.

Truly inspiring I sincerely hope your situation and the world improves - I greatly admire your humility and honesty Your judo is by far the best the world has seen for a very long time Osu

Where's your school? I want to go train.

Trained with this man many times over the years. An amazing judo master and a wonderful gentleman.

amazing uke

Sensei, I am really moved with your story. Unfortunately, I am in Texas, but I understand you and your struggle. Judo has been a great tool for me for many years to become a better person, unfortunately I broke an ankle and never returned to a tatami again. But listening to you motivated me to return to judo and what it represents. You are more than welcome in my home if you come to Houston, this is your home too.

GREAT VIDEO! keep it up sensei

Thank you so much for all the teachings and passion you've poured into all of your students sensei i'll be back soon and support you and the dojo as much as i possibly can - nate

This is the best video I've seen about martial arts in general. Real inspiring. OSS

Sasaki Judo your gay

Sasaku judo your a loser

Thank you coach ❤️

Very good sensei 👍

Big fan here. You inspire Judô community. I am learning a lot from you and it is helpful for me and my students also. Cheers from Brazil/Mexico. Arigatogozaimashita!

Having seen you at Tohkon in Chicago Illinois I could tell your hardships and dedication to the way just by your mannerisms alone , inspirational story to listen and connect to during these trying times thank you sensei

Great story, judo has helped me through some tough times, been off the mat for a bit now because of covid19 stuff, but id love to get back on it. This might be off topic but do you allow leg takedowns in randori at your dojo? I can't find any place that will allow it, and i feel like im not addressing a fundamental judo aspect. When i have a chance ill def visit. Thank you
