I consider myself lucky to have a Judo teacher like Sensei Casey, he is very flexible and is willing to work with you. The learning environment is amazing. Sensei evenly distributes time between all students no matter their skill level, and at the same time gets techniques done in class.

This is the best Judo instruction in Rochester. Casey and his team are very knowledgeable, very accomplished, and very technical. They [..] are able to link Judo to other grappling arts as Casey also practices Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
