Hello! It is nice to meet you here on ezWhale 😊🙏 Please allow me to tell you a little about the expertise I bring to anyone seeking knowledge within my field. I resided in Japan for more than 10 consecutive years with on going training and teaching there for more than 20 years. I am an expert in two Japanese traditional arts, Shakuhachi and Shotokan Karate-Do. In Shotokan Karate-Do, I am a JKS 6th DAN Shotokan Karate-Do instructor and a graduate of the JKS HQ instructor training program, the only non-Japanese member of the board of instructors in Japan. In Shakuhachi, I am a recipient of the Shihan (master instructor license) from the Chikumeisha Shakuhachi guild.
