It was a both a privilege and an honor to have Peter Gallos (Blue Gi) join us at Desert Judo during his time here in Arizona. As he moves on to the next chapter in his life we will miss his amazing judo, infectious spirit and willingness to learn and share with us.
Good luck to you Peter and be sure to stop by (with your g!) anytime you're back in town!
