Sensei Pedro, came and did a two day clinic for the Intermountain Yudanshakai years ago out here in Ontario, Oregon. It was a great, great experience, Jimmy is a great Judoka and a wonderful person.

Im just getting into Judo. The history is something that I love to explore.

This was fun. I learned about Jimmy Pedro while watching and listening to Rhadi Ferguson.
A conversation between the two of you would be fun.

Nice!
I met Jimmy in Orlando at the U.S Open this year.

My first image of judo I ever saw was when I was coaching wrestling for Pton and was sitting in Jay Weiss’ office at Harvard and he had a poster of Jimmy in the wall doing kata guruma. That stuck with me until the first day I started judo!
