As I progressed with Mr. Ito’s teachings, I learned that I could apply them to more areas of my life than just at the mat during practice. ..I learned that I had more control over my life than I thought. Mr. Ito taught me patience, discipline, perseverance, accountability, and self-esteem. His practice taught me to be resilient as I pursue my long term goals because everytime I feel worn out or ready to give up, I remember his theories of practice. I can attest to the fact that Mr. Ito is very passionate about his teaching and he very caring about his students. Most importantly, he never finishes learning. As a person and teacher he acknowledges the room for improvement and the value of knowledge. Those are some of the best qualities in and instructor.   - Maritza Luna Sanchez
