Student Comment: “I am honored that I am able to help in this humble way. I have seen the good that comes from learning Budo and the traditional martial arts and it seems even more important given the chaos in the world right now. If only more people would take the time to learn Budo the world would be a better place!

I believe in what you do Sensei and I want to help you continue your teaching”.
