Taught key points

To avoid all thought perverse:

Its frank speech and its direct humor sound a reflection of its sincerity. Its training courses are also the occasion to become aware of the disadvantages for the practice which too much are ego, of pride, narcissism.

to forge in the way as a practitioner oneself:

To embrace all arts and not to limit themselves to only one:

Student of the school of the Art schools of Paris in the Seventies, it made several exposures of paintings in Paris and Tokyo. He is member with life of the “Salon”

He appeared in some films where its most notable role was that of Chang in the film Moonraker (Lewis Gilbert, 1979).

To know the way of each trade, and not to limit themselves to that which one exerts oneself:

In displacement, all interests it: the balance of the steward on the aircraft, the weapons of the Western Middle Ages at the time of the visit of a museum, a final of the OJ of fencing, the training of the gymnaste or the dancer… When he teaches, it is discovered how he nourished his art of listening and the attention which he carries to all " these maîtres" who excel in their trade.

To know to distinguish the advantages and the disadvantages from each thing:

It can explain why such My-have or such reaction… Sometimes without word, just with light Atémi…

To pay attention to the least detail:

One of the angular stones, at the time of the training courses which it animates.

nothing to make the useless one:

For examples: Mr. Suga rate/rhythm his training courses thanks to the use of anecdotes of digressions will say some. But for which is in research, with good to listen to it, aware is become that it offers an image to us, a symbol of the gasoline of the technique under study! And then, that makes it possible to have a physical practice balanced with phases of recovery.
