Aikidoka from Berlin on the Herzogenhorn with Shimizu Sensei
Interview with Mr. Masao Yamazaki
In this interview ‚Off time’ talks to Mr. Masao Yamazaki, who is the No. One regarding the number of weekly training hours at the Tendokan! Since his retirement he started with Aikido, and for five years he is attending nearly all daily classes. He tells us a lot about the source of his energy, about the fascination of Aikido, and how he communicates with the children during practice. And that comes along with Mr. Yamazaki’s cheerful personality. (April 2010)

Mr. Watanabe was a personality, whose importance was especially enjoined on me by the Dojo leader.
