Jodi Terwilliger
"Cody’s an awesome teacher for both kids and adults at all levels. A black belt who’s got a process that’s intense but methodical. He listens and recognizes what his individual students need to work on within the group system and helps correct their techniques in real time. Great dude, great instructor, great crew from all over the Hudson Valley to roll with. ✊🏼"
