Endo Seishirô Shihan

Seit 1991, als wir den ersten internationalen Lehrgang mit Endo-sensei durchführten, begleitet er uns kontinuierlich, lehrt und fördert uns mit viel Geduld. Neben unserem bereits traditionellen, jährlichen Lehrgang in Liechtenstein, treffen wir ihn regelmäßig auf seinen zahlreichen Lehrgängen in Europa und der ganzen Welt (hier findet ihr seine Lehrgänge).
