Meet the Sensei

Hi, I’m Nick Yonezuka, 1980 Judo Olympian.

I know finding a martial arts school can be difficult and confusing.  Judo is a sport for EVERYONE!  It is self-defense, a healthy recreation, and an Olympic sport all in one. I was born into the art of judo. My father was a world-renowned competitor from Japan and established this club before I was born.  I have been practicing, competing, and instructing my entire life and would love to teach you everything I know.  Our programs have a strong focus on personal development and life skills.  The foundation of our morals, values, and core character traits are formed in our early years.  For this reason, the programs at Cranford JKC are an essential way to enhance the growth and personal development of younger students over 5 years old.  Our adult program is the perfect alternative to a boring gym routine, as they help you maximize your potential both physically and mentally by providing real-life self-defense in a fun, focused environment. Would you want to go to just any school for your education or would you want to go to an “Ivy League” ?!

Join Cranford JKC to improve yourself and those around you.

Be part of the Judo Way of Life.
