It is with great sadness that the Aikido and Kenjutsu sections of \"Shung Do Kwan Geneva\" share this news with you.\r\n\r\nGildo Mezzo Sensei\u2014an Aikikai 7th Dan who had been teaching at our club since 1975\u2014passed away during the night of July 1st.\r\n\r\nHis practice and teaching combined clarity, precision, and uncompromising rigor with an open mind and a constant pursuit of effectiveness, achieved by refining the principles and techniques he employed.\r\n\r\nIn the 1970s, at the Hombu Dojo, he met not only the most illustrious Japanese masters\u2014including Yamaguchi Sensei and Saotome Sensei\u2014but also Christian Tissier, Franck No\u00ebl, and many others who became his friends. Thanks to Gildo and his international standing, we were able to benefit from their instruction, as well as that of many other world-renowned Aikido masters, during numerous seminars held at our club.\r\n\r\nFurthermore, having trained notably under Inaba Sensei, Gildo taught us the Kenjutsu of the Kashima school (Shiseikan, Tokyo). He opened the doors to that prestigious martial arts academy for us, as well as to the ISBA, the international organization affiliating Kenjutsu dojos outside Japan.\r\n\r\nA great Aikido master has left us; he possessed immense knowledge of both Aikido and Kenjutsu, which he strove to pass on to us with great patience. His teaching was characterized by open-mindedness and generosity, and he trained numerous black belts within the ACSA in Switzerland.\r\n\r\nGildo also led many seminars in Switzerland and the Czech Republic.\r\n\r\nIt is with deep admiration that we bid him farewell.\r\n<\/span>\r\n<\/span><\/pre>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
