Nick Yonezuka - Cranford JKC

My name is Nicolas Yonezuka and I have been doing judo my entire life. My father was a world renowned judoka from Japan and I was born into it. Competitively, I was on the 1980 Olympic team at 78kg. I was also a 12 time national finalist winning 5 national titles as well as various international titles. Currently, I am the head Sensei at Cranford JKC which has produced 7 Olympian’s to date and am training many up and coming Olympic hopefuls. Recently, I was the 2024 Olympic and World team coach as well as various current Grand Slam and Grand Prix tournaments. I started this channel to promote the importance of judo for any grappling sport or martial art and how judo techniques translate not only with Gi but without as well. The purpose of this channel is to teach concepts in judo that build a strong foundation of techniques for anyone to improve, from the beginner to the international competitor.
