Senpai Mr. Shuichi Itoh

Holds a Nidan in Shorinji Kenpo from his college days in Japan and now after many years of dedication holds Nidan in the Genbu-Kai as well.

Mr. Itoh is a valuable asset to our dojo as he gives us insight to the language and cultral differences of Japan.

His wisdom and patience helps guide us in the right direction.
