Soke (Grandmaster) Hatsumi
The efforts made by Hatsumi Sensei have recently been recognised again in Japan with the awarding of the Grand Cultural Prize for promotion of unique aspects of Japanese culture outside of Japan, the certificate and medal bear the royal seal of the Emperor of Japan.
Sensei is also the recipient of 3 Honorary Doctorates from various universities and has been awarded the title Todo Hanshi (Master teacher of the way of the sword) on February 11th 1995 by Nakazawa Toshi, President of Zen Nippon Todo Renmei Japan Sword Federation.
I was told by my ninjitsu sensei that his house is full of hidden weapons and booby traps because you dont get to that position without making some really deadly enemies.
