"I would like to share some of my experiences with you about my Sensei and
dear friend, Takahiko Ishikawa (...) I first met Ishikawa in 1953 in Japan after
I became a Shodan (1st degree black belt) and thus was allowed to workout at the
Keishicho (Tokyo Police Dojo) (...)"

Geesink's own 1961 Utrecht newspaper article quotes him receiving lessons at
the police dojo from Sampei Asami, an 8th dan. Kodokan Review corroborates Asami
Sempei as a Kodokan instructor of that era.
"Want in de politiedojo krijg ik les van Sampei Asami, een achste dan en
één van de beste leraren die er is."
