Being very active in karate, Sawada Sensei became the club’s team captain. This Taisho team won three times the All-Japan University Championships. Sawada Sensei was Kanto area (Western part of Japan) University Champion, and reached twice the finals in the Free-style University Championships.
After graduation, Sawada Sensei moved to Belgium and was appointed as assistant to Sensei Miyazaki Satoshi (宮崎 哲), at national level and in our club, and this continued until September '84 when Sawada Sensei moved back to Japan for a decade.
Regrettably, Miyazaki Sensei passed away on May 31st 1993. The Belgian karate federation then asked Sawada Sensei to return and teach as national instructor. As he was Sensei Miyazaki Satoshi's assistant, Sawada Sensei became the dojo's chief-instructor.
Over 200 m² of wooden floor was laid down and additional facilities were built - Side mirrors and panels added to the seven meters high ceiling, increased the impression of space in the training hall. Many people spent a great deal of sweat on this floor, including the Belgian national squad.
In March 2007 was renamed Brussels' Shôtôkan Karate-dô Sawada Academy. Today the dojo is located in the sports complex of the university campus Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB).
