Carl Cestari teaching Defendu, 1992 at the Dungeon, Paramus, NJ

I'm downloading this video to show those, who have any doubt about my relationship and training I had with my friend and Instructor, Carl Cestari.

As you'll see in this video, excuse my laughing in video, but I was 19 years old and about a buck 50 then, and deathly afraid of Carl killin my skinny ass, lol.

I can back everything up I've ever said, with video, pictures, certificates, belts & rank, and those who where "actually" there. As there are those who claimed to be their, and yet, aren't in any video footage from the Church Dungeon.....🤔

This video shows me training with Carl, this video was taken between September and November of 1992, in the church basement known as the Dungeon in Paramus, NJ and again, I have all the footage from that time period, 1990-1995 and spoke to everyone of any importance who was training there with Carl and both the gentleman who filmed the classes and seminars, and yet, knowone remembers seeing this particular person 🤥

I just get a kick out of it all now. But I watched a podcast last week, and it had an individual on who was associated with Carl, yes associated with him. But, the truth is he had very little training directly under Carl Cestari. I, myself trained with Carl from the time of this video, 1992, until the passing of Carl in 2007. I spent more time training and hanging out with Carl then ANYONE else, period. ( FACT).

I got my 1st degree black belt in 1997 in Nippon Goshindo Jujutsu. Prior to Carl's passing, it was well known by those who knew and where training with Carl, that I was Carl's protégé and that I'd be his successor upon his passing.
