One of the greatest joys in life is a long session of randori--and a few beers afterwards. Thank you, sensei, for sharing your golden memories!

My instructor, Peter R. Maro was among these students. Peter was an Army Ranger 3rd battalion & was also in the MP as a CID. After the Korean war, Peter came to Rhode Island in 1953 & began teaching Kumi-Uchi Jiu-Jitsu at the Cranston YMCA where he remained until he retired in 1996. He was born in 1930 & we lost him when he passed away in 2013. He was the very best & is considered the father of jiu-jitsu in New England.

I would like to see Judo experience a resurgence in popularity but because there's no lucrative professional league in Judo as there is in futbal soccer, boxing, MMA, tackle football, baseball, basketball and rugby fewer athletes pursue Judo compared to other sports.
