Soke Mochizuki
Mochizuki Sensei began training with Shinto Ryu in 1965. He would go on to win numerous awards and competitions for his swordwork, including the prestigious Prime Minister's Cup.
In 1986, he achieved the title of Inka, which signified he had completed all training and had reached a "higher understanding". He then formalized this understanding by forming Seibu Ryu in 1990. He sadly passed away in the fall of 2022. |
