That is why I just talked with him normally and he was very receptive, and I became almost like a son to him and so I think we developed a special relation like that. I think he was very lonely because he was left by himself, and I was there because I just wanted to learn as much as possible, because I knew that I wouldn’t spent all my life here and also time was going fast so I didn’t have time. There was no communication, except for the training where you do the bath or you care after him, but that was part of the uchi deshi training, there was no real personal communication, it was a different type of communication.īut the second time he was older, and I think maybe a little lonely, because in Japan, when your position gets too high, you have a very big distance even with people inside the same company or inside the dojo. If he asked you a question you would answer, that was it. The atmosphere in the dojo was very “Budo”, very martial, and so you couldn’t talk to him freely, you had to go through your senpai and even if you could talk to him, you would be at attention and keep your distance.
And also, the first time I was much younger and Shioda Sensei was very strict. Q: It must also have been very different for you because when you came the first time you were a bachelor, but when you came back you were married.Ī: Yes, it was completely different. So, these three years were a completely different type of training and I am very happy that I decided to come back. To really focus on him how he was walking, what kind of personal training he was doing, and so on – instead of the regular training I used to do. I changed the way I was thinking and training to just focus on him and what he was doing.
