Hayward Nishioka, the only person in the U.S. to have been a competitor, coach and referee at the world judo championships (in different years, he's not that awesome) and author of several books on judo.
You can see him in his younger days throwing Rickson Gracie in this video.
Hayward has been U.S. National Champion, Panamerican Champion, produced judo videos and every other accomplishment you can imagine in judo.
Here is the updated list of CONFIRMED instructors for Saturday, October 1
Sensei Blinky Elizalde will be teaching foot techniques.
Dr. AnnMaria De Mars will be teaching arm bars.
Sensei Victor Ortiz, Ontario Judo will be teaching shoulder throws.
Ronda Rousey will be teaching chokes.
