Here is an uncommon photo of Yoshitaka ( Gigo) Funakoshi son of Master Gichen Funakoshi using the makiwara board in the mid to end of the 30s.According to Shigeru Egami Sensei, Gigo would say “ we must not be the frog in the well which does not know the world:We have to study other martial arts.” He believed we have to learn from a range of different systems. Gigo took Shotokan to a different level.
