"Tommy Sensei’s classes focus on building the fundamentals, which I personally trust that it is much needed for the better. In fact, it is from Tommy Sensei’s class that I manage to achieve steady progress instead of dashing through the movements."
"Tommy Sensei incorporates Aikido’s harmony and sincerity into simple etiquette on and off the training mat. Over time, his way of teaching has stretched out to benefit me beyond the dojo mat, as I found myself becoming calmer and more patient in any given difficult situations."
"I believe that with proper training attitude, every student will find something to gain from his class, be it physical or spiritual, or sometimes, both."
