Nishida Sensei devoted his life to the study and teaching of Karate.     

He was one of the top Karate practitioners in Japan who learned from some of the greatest masters of the prior generation (See Below).  His Karate philosophy was always to work at improving your fundamental skills.  From this knowledge of the fundamentals, one could develop the power and efficiency to effectively and naturally apply Karate techniques.   People from around the world came to his simple dojo in Tokyo to learn from him.   

Nishida Sensei spent decades patiently teaching and correcting my Karate.  For this, I am forever grateful to him.
