Master Ochiai has not only taught our kids Washin-ryu but, he has also taught them how to be more confident in themselves. The self-discipline our daughter has learned is amazing. The concentration our son now has is helping him in school and has helped him with his "bounciness". Master Ochiai has a gentle nature which makes it easy for kids and adults to learn. Thank you for everything you have taught our children
