"Under mit udvekslingsophold på Dōshisha University i Kyoto fik jeg rig mulighed for at dygtiggøre mig i forskellige stilarter og som resultatet af min træning fik mestret mere end bare de basale teknikker. Min kunst er unik, personlig og hundrede procent med respekt for den traditionelle japanske filosofi bag denne kunstform." Martins website |
