The first visit of PATENAUDE shihan to the old Yoseikan dojo was in 1990, he then trained under the guidance of MOCHIZUKI Minoru Sensei but also with all top shihan like TEZUKA, KENMOTSU and WASHIZU Sensei.
Over the years PATENAUDE shihan made multiple trips to Shizuoka but only recently he had the opportunity to travel there for the first time with his family. Of course a little visit to WASHIZU Sensei was on the menu.
Here on these photos, we can feel WASHIZU Sensei’s deep welcome, training hard with joy and humility.
