I cannot tell you how much I admire you and what an inspiration you are.
I’m writing this on my 48th birthday!

"I hope my students beat me"... The words of an enlightened Sensei. Japanese humility is awesome. What a great story.

Went to his dojo in 2023 and stuck out like a sore thumb didn’t even know how to tie my belt, he had stopped the class and explained to me it’s only a training dojo. I felt so embarrassed but he was able to teach me a few things he’s a nice man and a great teacher. Wish he can have more fundamental classes!

My sensei really is a great role model and always wants us to push our limits during practice

don't feel shame, you are an inspiration, fighting at the age of 40 is not easy. I am 46 and this video gives me hope that i can still compete at a high level.
