Wado-Ryu Kyushu 2024 Spring Training Camp I was able to spend three meaningful and fulfilling days. I thank you from the bottom of my heart to Grand Master Ⅲ Hironori Otsuka Sensei and Koga Sensei. I faced myself and re-recognized my shortcomings and characteristics. I will try to find the best way to improve the shortcomings and make the characteristics better. People who are interested in me and I want to talk about love, run together, laugh together, fall together, get lost together, protect each other, and hug each other. We are on the path of peace and harmony to nurture love.
All Wado-ryu students, including myself, have been learning a lot from Grand Master 3rd Otsuka Sensei. I was given the precious opportunity to spend time with Otsuka Sensei, and there are words that I cherish. “Think not about what to teach, but how to convey it, and find a way to convey it.” These words that Sensei gave me even more inquisitiveness, creativity, and action. I want to continue walking with the spirit of Wado-ryu.
Of the kihon kumite from 1ponme to 10ponme, I like 3bonme one. Because I like it, I want to know more about its charm and want to find it. And sharing that charm with everyone can lead to even greater discoveries. Don’t you think that things that are said to be “difficult” have hidden charms that are hard to see?
