  ““Ali em frente é a área reservada ao meu Mestre, à pessoa que mais admiro e de quem tenho imensas saudades” adiantou o nosso anfitrião sinalizando uma grande fotografia de Kiyoshi Kobayashi, aquela que é marca global do japonês que desde 1958 referencia o judo nacional em todas as suas dimensões, técnicas, culturais, profissionais e até institucionais. Ao lado uma fotografia datada de 1966 com Henrique Nunes a receber de KK uma medalha de campeão nacional, uma das muitas, ao ponto de ser difícil recordar-se de todas.”
