Jeremy Otmezguine
Kids Judo Coach
I have been doing martial arts most of my life as I've always been an active individual. I have always loved helping people and coaching has always been one of my dreams. I have always loved to help individuals and see their progress. The fact that they would progress would show that not only I love what I do but also that I am able to pass on my love for Judo through teaching.
I love to teach Judo because you can apply the same moral code that is present in Judo to your life such as being humble, having courage, never giving up, having no ego, being courteous, and honesty to name a few. Judo has impacted my life in many ways. It's a beautiful art not only because of what it stands for, but the way you can apply it to everyday life is what makes it truly wonderful.
Throughout all of my years in Judo and to this very day, I have had one mentor who has taught me so much and I still continues to teach me every day. His name is Cedric Joel Eric Perroud. He is not only a wonderful mentor and a wonderful sensei but he is a wonderful human being and has tremendous skills in the sport of Judo. He is the main reason why I became a coach. My goal in the future is to also get involved with children and adults with all types of disabilities. We believe that any one is capable of learning Judo.

Kids Judo Coach
As a brown belt, I started judo not too long ago, and the passion for the sport grows every day. Since I was a science teacher for kids in Brazil, being a reference for children's apprenticeship is something I always loved. I am very thankful to sensei Cedric for the opportunity to learn from him how to coach judo in such a critical phase of development for a person, especially teaching such a sport that has so much to add to a child growing up.
Peter Crocco
Kids and Adult Judo Coach
I started doing judo when I was 17 and have continued for the last 13 years. I played many sports growing up but knew I loved judo from the first time I got thrown. Judo is a great way to stay physically and mentally healthy, and it is something I can and will continue into old age. I became a judo coach because I want to share my love for judo and hope that those I teach find what I found in judo.
William Richert
Kids and Adult Judo Coach
Judo entered my life later than I would have liked, but nevertheless it has changed my life. Jigoro Kano created Judo as not just a sport, it is a way of life. It is important to remember that receiving your black belt signifies the beginning of learning. It is my privilege to pass on the knowledge I have obtained from my sensei on to other judoka.
