EBJI founder and program director David Matsumoto Sensei became the head instructor in 1983 (38 years ago)! At 61 years young he still gets on the mat weekly to practice with his family.

Our instructional staff includes many current and former national champions and members of EBJI have participated in events all over the world including the World Championships and Ol...ympic Games.
