1. Submitted by Filipe Lopes for Mark Staniszewski | Leave Comment Submitted on Tuesday May 15, 2012 7:33 PM Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu takes about twice as long to get a black belt in compared to any other martial art for good reason: BJJ is a refined art that focuses on the absolute subtlties and nuances to ensure complete perfection in technique not just for execution, but for understanding and explanation. It is for this reason that I believe Mark Stan is miles ahead of his peers; he has the ability to teach Judo the way that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructors (like himself) teach their art. He is patient and articulate. His attention to detail is so precise that it can feel like he reads your mind the way he will break down whatever troubles you with a move and picks it apart with easy to understand but pivotal detail, enabling anyone to not just perform, but truly grasp any technique. Mark is a busy guy, a family man with a full time job, yet still finds the time to travel out of state and coach his students in tournaments when he can, because he values his club. It's a privilege to train under him and wouldn't have it any other way. 2. Submitted by AM for Mark Staniszewski | Leave Comment Submitted on Tuesday April 10, 2012 5:37 PM Mark Stan is a great judo player and coach. I admire the fact that as a coach, he still goes out and competes. He looks at each competition as a chance to learn and improve his techniques. I have seen the respect his students show him both on and off the mat. They truly value his teachings. The focus and dedication that he gives to his students makes him a coach that every competitor or martial arts enthusiast should want to train with. 3. Submitted by Louis A. Balestrieri for Mark Staniszewski | Leave Comment Submitted on Tuesday April 10, 2012 3:59 PM I have been involved in Martial Arts for more than 40 years and rubbed shoulders with some of the best instructors in the world. My years in Judo allowed me to be on the mat with both old world teachers as well as former Olympians. From the first time I watched a class under Mark Stainzewski at Combat Judo, I knew it would be a place I would enjoy training. I found Mark to be very knowledgeable as an instructor and backed that knowledge by being an avid national competitor. His Judo stand-up and Jujitsu ground work are top shelf and it is blatant to see by seeing the success of his students as comptitors. Mark Stan is an asset to the Judo world... 4. Submitted by Michael Doria for Mark Staniszewski | Leave Comment Submitted on Tuesday April 10, 2012 3:57 PM I have been playing Judo since I was 5 years old. I have been competed all over the country and trained with the best of them. Mark is really one of the best Judo instructors in America. There are many Judo teachers who simply do not have the experience to teach this sport. That is not the case for Mark. When you learn Judo from Mark you learn the sport the correct way for competitions, katas, or just to stay in shape. Judo is not a popular sport in the USA and Mark is without a doubt a great (and one of the best) asset to our small Judo community. 5.
