The teaching ability of Grand Master Maui Saito is unsurpassed, and his extensive knowledge and skills go beyond the realm and limits of Jujitsu as it is often taught. He was immersed in a life time of martial arts education through his family line whose techniques were extensively long held in secrecy within the family lineage until the recent time. The mark of true success, however, is whether a teacher can impart the same skills and ability to his students. Many teachers, instructors, trainers have excelled competitively, but fail to become great teachers who can impart the same level of skill and success to their students, so those students can rise as far or even farther. This important fact is crucial in determining the right place to train. Is the success of the student the most important goal to your instructor, teacher, trainer? Is that success meant for your own long term personal goals?
