Beyond all this Sensei is a genius of martial arts, a living encyclopedia in the field of Japanese martial culture. AND «Ninghu di Ho» – Cultural heritage in life
A rare title granted by the Japanese government! He changed my life since I met him for the first time in Paris in 1999. We hope to become a student and this only happened in 2016 … Yes, it is an incredible true Yoda and with a special life experience. With a more retired lifestyle, Sensei Shimazu is the one who started the only magazine of the old school in Japan «Hiden» in the 80s. When I met him in 1999, he arrived after a few months in Taiwan, China and Okinawa, studying possible origins of the Yagyu Shingan School and maintaining excellent relationships with many practical styles and styles. Kungfu. Of course, this beyond all those he knows in the old Japanese schools.
There are also politicians and gossip in Japan and in the martial field
like everywhere, unfortunately. Still, there are no rumors, nothing wrong in Shimazu Sensei! Ah, yes, I know someone (Great Shihan, leader of the organization) who only after being certified by Shimazu Sensei, said he is not good, etc. !!! (only in a private environment, however). The proof that the Japanese are also people with good and bad. But it is the exception that confirms the rule. And the culmination is that Shimazu Sensei was really talking about him, since the child is dear to you! 🙂
Its name Shimazu sensei He opened my doors now in Japan
even if his age says his word and for some time he officially retired from teaching. Here is the difficult part of the meeting, difficult to say in words. Time, age, will reach all of us. Sensei brings dignity in recent years and his eyes are the same. Sensei is trying to show me techniques but tired or the mind runs away to something else … but it is incredible how her body knows what to do. However, I didn’t come here to learn the techniques. I came to be with the family who guided me for so many years. Yet Sensei feels that he has to give me something, he tells me he doesn’t want to disappoint me !!! Dear him !!! I tell him what I do now, how my life has changed since I met it in ’99 and how it changed after 2016, Dojo, therapy, doctorate, research and that all this is largely due. He smiles shy but also proud, he is happy and his wife is even happier to see him smile. He tells me to return as often as possible and how much I would like! Sensei remains in my heart as I knew and the passage of time on this body of passage will not obscure anything of the immense value of the man who is with everything he has done and does for me! I have no words to express all these emotions in words on the one hand, on the other, some things are too personal and cannot be put in words … To be clearer if so far, Sensei has done my body both with its techniques and my mind / my conceptions on martial arts, now it was a new lesson and I have a new lesson, live these moments!
PS. There is a lot to write / say, but at the end of the day, in Onsen (public bathroom) I was still showing an incredible technique worthy of a true master Yoda !!! That I can’t do….
All the gratitude of the world for Shimazu Sensei and Haruko San, his wonderful wife and I will do everything possible to carry on what they built! All gratitude also for those who believe in me and are with me in this life, in this way!
