Eastside Dojo is the dream of many years coming together for two really good <strong>Judo</strong> men. I have known Kenny Patteson since he started<br />
<strong>Judo</strong> at 9 years of age. Ken has trained at the Olympic Training Camp and competed all over the world. He has trained under many outstanding<br />
coaches, including Y. Vincent Tamura, so he knows coaching. When Eastside Dojo started up in Plano, Texas, in September, 2013, they<br />
only had 18 or 19 students. Now they have close to 50.<br />
I met Ken Scialo when he first came to Tamura’s as a Sandan. He carried me through my Yodan test. My back was very bad at the time. He<br />
had been a Sandan for many years so he took the Yodan test with me. I think he is a Godan now. Ken is one of the most patient men<br />
working with kids I have ever met. He is devoted to <strong>Judo</strong>.<br />
The Dojo has spring loaded floors to eliminate injuries and new mats. Ken and Ken are hosting randori meets, seminars with <strong>Judo</strong> heroes,<br />
and workout offerings at least once a month. These men and their dojo is a force to be reckoned with in Texas.<br />
