About ME

My name is Adam Sandor and I’m the teacher at Jodo Atlanta.

I have been practicing jodo for many years, and attained the rank of yondan (4th dan). I am part of the Hoshu Dojo family, under Thomas Groendal-sensei in Seattle. Throughout the year, I travel to several regional jodo seminars to learn and teach, especially to our Hoshu Dojo Summer Camp where I progress in my koryu practice (Shindo Muso Ryu).

My martial arts experience includes:
HEMA with various weapons (current), Kendo, Aikido, Iaido, and Tae Kwon Do.

There is a stereotypical phrase in martial arts, “You’ve done it once, now do it 10,000 more times.“ I believe in practicing this way. I may describe a technique, but showing and doing is the most important aspect of training.
