Kouichi Toriumi Sensei's visit was part of the Hombu Dojo International tour of Asia, covering Myanamr (Yangon), Indonesia(Jakarta), Singapore and China (Shanghai). He was with us in Singapore on the 31st of January 2002. Toriumi Sensei conducted classes at the Singapore Armed Forces Dojo in the morning, the Gurkha Contingent Dojo in the aftrenoon and Cheng San Dojo in the evening. Toriumi Sensei was amazed by the number of participants in these classes, especially by the sight of the over one hundred participants lining up in militaristic fashion at the SAF Dojo and again at the Gurkha Contingent Dojo.
