平常心, Heijōshin, means keeping a calm and balanced mind in every situation. In karate, it means staying relaxed, focused, and in control during training, kata, kumite, competition, and teaching. You do not panic under pressure, become careless after success, or lose control because of fear or anger. With Heijōshin, your breathing stays natural, your body stays free from unnecessary tension, and your decisions become clear and effective.

I had the honor of meeting Izumi Miyawaki Sensei, one of Japan’s respected Ikebana artists and teachers, dedicated to the traditional Japanese art of floral arrangement.
The day before the tournament, she arrived at the venue at 7:00 a.m. and worked continuously until 3:00 p.m., without stopping even for a meal, creating the Ikebana arrangements for us.
Her work reflected far more than floral design. Every branch, flower, line, and open space showed balance, discipline, sensitivity, and years of refined study.
When her work was complete, she simply thanked us and quietly left.
Her dedication, humility, and devotion to her art left a strong impression on me.
She, too, is someone who walks the 道, the Way.

34 Years Apart, One Shitokai Family, A Lifetime of Friendship. 🥋🇯🇵
Some memories never fade, and some friendships grow stronger with time.
In 1992, I had the honor of winning a medal in Open Kumite at the 32nd All Japan Shitokai Championships in Japan, alongside some of Japan’s great karate champions, including the Hasegawa family, Shinichi Sensei, Yumi Sensei, and Yukimitsu Sensei.
34 years later, during the 2026 World Shitoryu Festival in Yokohama, Japan, we came together once again to capture another photograph and share a wonderful reunion.
Looking at these two photographs, taken more than three decades apart, brings back countless memories of our younger days, our dedication to karate, and the friendships we built along the way.
Time has changed our appearances, but the respect, friendship, and spirit of Shitokai remain as strong as ever.
For me, one of the greatest treasures of a lifetime dedicated to Karatedo is the people I have met, the friendships I have developed, and the Shitokai family I am proud to belong to.
Different generations, different moments, but always ONE SHITOKAI FAMILY.
My sincere gratitude and best wishes to my dear Hasegawa Senseis and all my Shitokai family around the world. Wishing everyone continued good health, happiness, and success on the path of Karatedo.
