  "Egami met Master Funakoshi when he was 18 years old, the moment he began studying at the famous Waseda University, there he helped to establish its Karate Do Club. (...) He followed his Master together with Yoshitaka Funakoshi and Takeshi Shimoda all around Japan staging exhibitions, trying to expand the knowledge of Karate-do as a Japanese martial art."

  "In 1968 he travels to Japan where he meets Master Shigeru Egami. Very impressed by Master Egami and the technique he observes, he decides to make a profound and very difficult transformation in his technique and his practice. He returns to Europe as the representative of the Nihon Karate-do Shotokai."
