Now, that we are all again dry, I'd like to share some words concerning this memorable stage. ...read more
115 participents, 11 nations
The first calligraphy on the left means "to great ways, no gate" an adequate theme for such an encounter.
Thanks to the german organisation team! It's been great.

The Situation in Japan
We are all extremely distressed about what happened in Japan. I made a phone call to
Nishioka Sensei to ensure that everything is alright with him. He is still shocked, but safe and sound.
The coming days will be crucial with regard to the nuclear threat. The Japanese really don't need this
disaster. Our hearts go out to them. Their serenity and solidarity is an example for all of us.
May this catastrophic event cause those who defend nuclear energy to reconsider it once and for all. Of
course, we need energy, but if we have less, we should then think about "consuming a little bit less"!
Whenever I get some other news, I will communicate them to you using this site.
My best regards to everybody, Pascal Krieger
Decoration from the Emperor of Japan for Pascal Krieger
On the 11th of June, Pascal was awarded the "Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays".
He wants to share this honor with all his teachers, students and friends.
Have a look at pictures from the ceremony and read the speech of acceptance.
The way of the stick
Because of the numerous queries to which no answers were given due to the fact that the book is out of print since 2002, a Web specialist has scanned all the pages of the book. Pascal Krieger has not asked for this website. He asks everyone reading this to be well aware that the techniques shown in the book should not be taken for granted. Jodo evolved quite a bit since 1994, the year Nishioka Sensei, an early student of Shimizu Sensei, became Technical Advisor of the IJF. This book is uniquely a reference.
