I originally started my Jujitsu training with Master David Castoldi at the Newton YMCA, Newton, Massachusetts, in the 1980's.  During my 6 years of training with Master Castoldi I achieved the rank of 1st Degree Brown Belt before heading off to College.  During my 6 years in the Castoldi Jujitsu Program I met then Orange Belt Ed Melaugh.  It wasn't until 20 years later that we connected again during an on-line web search I performed one evening for Small Circle Jujitsu Schools in the North Shore area.  I stumbled upon Sensei Ed Melaugh during such a search in 2004 and have been  training with him ever since. Funny how my search brought me back to a great person whom I trained with years ago...and only 8 minutes from my current home. My daughter and my son both train with me at the school. I am a Green Belt testing for my Blue rank at the moment.
