One of the older students (senpai), Guilherme Haupenthal was an active contributor to the beginning of the Shinjigenkan Institute. Echoing the beliefs of Kagawa shihan and the teachings of the Institute, Haupenthal sensei is a firm believer in the traditional karate-dō as a transformational tool for everyone that decides to follow its teachings.
