This Cranford Judo & Karate Center calls itself a martial arts school but look what they hire! They have a known drug user on the staff Toshi Gibson. These judo and karate schools are suppose to teach decent values like self-respect. What kind of a drug abuser understands the firs thing about self respect? Oy! He can't respect himself! The martial arts are also supposed to be about respecting others. They're supposed to be abot controlling emotions!

Ha, what kind of a drug abuser knows the first thing, or the second, or the third, about controlling their emotions?

My kid will not be attending this school and I do not recommend it to anybody else either, if they hire people like that, forget about them!

Owner Denise it's irresponsible to ignore these reports

Denise if you are the owner of this judo school then you are being unbelievably irresponsible by ignoring these reports. Don't you think you should stop attacking the messenger and maybe do some extreme vetting of the types of people you allow into your school and in contact with the children instead? People are trying to clue you in and you're attacking the messengers. Again, you are being irresponsible and ought to take a closer look at your staff - and yourself.

No truth to anything written here about Toshi

#3REBUTTAL Owner of company

Tue, January 05, 2016

To whom ever it is that feels the need to write these reports, Toshi Gibson was a wonderful Sensei here at the Cranford Judo Karate Center for many year. He and his wife are good people and to my knowledge have never sold, used or distributed drugs. Additionally, he has not been present at the Judo Karate Center since October 2014, so any recent reports pertaining to Toshi's presence at the club are completely untrue.

Hopefully you have read the rebuttal written by Jackie, who actually knows Toshi, and the one I have written above, because it is obvious that RipoffReports.com does not review or check the validity of the posts on their cite. They also have a disclaimer that you must agree to before posting on Ripoff.com that states you cannot accuse people of illegal acts that cannot be proven, yet they allowed a post that claims Toshi is a drug dealer. Way to go Ripoff Reports.com!

Lastly, Toshi was not a hired employee of the Cranford Judo Karate Center. He VOLUNTEERED his time here, which is also a testament to his character.

Call in the Cops to Search the School and the Home

Be on the safe side. Call in the police. Children and adults on drugs are a bad combination. Have the Cranford Police Department search Cranford Judo to make sure there's no drug trafficking going on there. Then have the Scotch Plains Police Department check this Gibson's home. He lives at (((REDACTED))) Scotch Plains NJ.

He Was High Daily When I Knew Him!

#5Consumer Suggestion

Fri, August 28, 2015

Cranford Judo, you really need to hire better help than this Toshi! He was high on a daily basis back when I knew him. Daily! What kind of people are running your company if you've got someone like that there, teaching the kids?

If I were you, Cranford Judo, I would get that man tested for drug use on a regular basis. You would do well to heed the warnings that people are trying to raise about him. If he's responsible for children, and one has an accident when that jerk turns out to be "high," YOU, Cranford Judo, are the ones who are going to be held liable and responsible. YOU are going to be sued if anything were to happen to a child on Toshi's watch. YOU are going to wind up sued. So YOU might want to do something constructive like send the idiot for drug testing to make sure YOU don't end up in trouble for hiring the wrong kind of man to instruct people's children!

Yes Be Careful Who You Hire at the Dojo

I strongly suggest you Google these Gibson people. There are reports all over the Internet about this man and his wife and I can attest to the fact that the wife was verbally and emotionally abusive to me when I was a child. She was relentless and should have been brought up on charges. I stood up and cheered when I found out people on the Internet are speaking up about her at last.

Mon, October 27, 2014

This post is completely untrue!!! When I read this post, I didn't even have to think twice or question myself about it. Cranford Judo is the best dojo and has many great instructors, one of them being Toshi Gibson! I have know Toshi for many years now and he has always been a wonderful instructor......especially to younger kids! Toshi is totally dedicated to teaching, coaching, and training students to become a great judoka! Toshi also teaches his students displine & respect. All the students and parents love Toshi! Toshi has also done soo much for Cranford Judo and would never do anything bad to give the dojo a bad name or reputation! I am extremely lucky and fortunate to have met Toshi and trained with him just as I know all the other students are. Cranford Judo Karate Center is the BEST dojo! This dojo has produced many top Athletes, Champions, & Olympians and it's all because the dojo has some the greatest instructors! There are also many great judoka's that come to train here from far away and including other states. I am glad & honored to say I am a student of this dojo for 30 yrs. and I always will be! I have NEVER had a bad or negative experience at this dojo.......but I did always have great positive influence people around me which taught me a lot of things! So come on down to Cranford Judo Karate Center if your thinking of taking up judo or karate and I guareent you will have a great experience!

So whoever wrote this negative post about Toshi Gibson & Cranford Judo Karate Center is a complete LIAR! You are obviously jealous of what a great man he really, which you would never be! You really have to be cruel & miserable person to post lies about someone to make yourself feel better! I hope you got enjoyment out of your post because all your doing is showing how terrible of a person you are so I can defiantly tell you are not a student of the dojo because our students show respect, discipline, and have morals unlike you! And the sad part is that you are older than these kids.....what a disgrace you are! Lol! So if you have any other lies you would like to post about Toshi and/or his family, you should think twice before doing so because your just hurting yourself & reputation by showing what type of person you really are!!! So the laugh is on you.....not Toshi, Cranford Judo, or anyone else! So I'm sorry you didn't accomplish anything by your posting!!! HaHaHa!
