Sugasawa
Sugasawa Sensei was born in Sawara City, Chiba prefecture, sixty

He first experienced karate when his second eldest brother started
training at a local club and erected a Makiwara (striking post) at
the family home. Although Sensei's first love was Baseball, he used

Tokyo. He was coerced into the university karate club. Although he
admits it did not take much by the way of persuading.
