  “O professor de Aikido era o Carlos Pereira, aluno do Mestre Stobbaerts, o de Karate era o Dr. Fragoso Fernandes, aluno do Dr. Pires Martins, (o introdutor do Karate em Portugal) que era o responsável pelo Karate. Professor de Filosofia, foi uma das pessoas que mais me marcou nas Artes Marciais, pela sua abordagem séria, rigorosa e profundamente empenhada.”

  “Foi ele que organizou e estruturou o Aikido em Portugal e considero isso importante. Foram os pioneiros, afinal de contas. O Daniel Laurent não tinha técnica, era cinto amarelo ou laranja, por isso o verdadeiro pioneiro foi o Sr. Engº. Carlos Manuel Pereira.”
