OverviewHistory tells us that in the early 20th century, the Japanese people underwent substantial change in their culture. These developments also had a huge influence on the legendary Japanese martial arts. The classical Bu-jutsu styles would transform into Budo: 'the way of the warrior'. At the heart of this movement where three grandmasters: Jigoro Kano (judo) Morihei Ueshiba (aikido) and Gichin Funakoshi (karate). Besides a common vision, a passion for martial arts and their exceptional skills, they shared another common point: their dedicated student Minoru Mochizuki. Having mastered a great variety of disciplines, Minoru Mochizuki started to teach his vision on budo in his Yoseikan dojo which he founded in 1931. In 1951 he went to France to introduce Aikido and had a huge role in the spread of judo, ju-jutsu, kobudo, iaido and karate. In the Yoseikan dojo he sought to unite all the martial arts he studied and created an all-round (Sogo Budo) style. The author, Edgar Kruyning was one of the last uchi deshi (living in student) of this legendary grandmaster. Nowadays he is a leading authority on what remains of Minoru Mochizuki's teachings today.
