Kano Martial Arts - 07/10/2019
My first jiu jitsu teacher, Garry St. Leger, recently opened his own gym in Manhattan. Garry’s experience at the highest levels of Judo is at the core of Kano’s identity, combining a holistic approach to grappling with a deep respect for the history and philosophy of martial arts that is reflected in the attitude of the students. I visited their open mat in July, taking part in alternating Judo and Jiu Jitsu rounds that let me know just how much I still have to learn on the feet. Thanks again to Garry, more about Kano here.
