Judoguy1975
I first met Dave at Fredericksburg parks and reck when he first started teaching jujitsu there I was 13 yrs old he trained me for the next 10 yrs till I moved away to NC I would always stop in for his classes whenever I was back in town I looked to him as a father figure for me since I didn’t have a father in my life we would go up to NY during the summer for seminars with Roy or kiyamma sensei , I was like Danielson in the karate kid movie doing chores for the training I remember I painted his house the wig hill house cause he was afraid of heights he told me he didn’t even like be as tall as he was lol, I might of paid twice in the whole time I trained with him cause he knew I was from a poor family that couldn’t afford the cost class I was truly grateful for everything he taught me on and off the mat I became sensei number one uki thats person who’s being thrown I will always miss him and remember him, shuygo
