ITS HISTORY
Founded by direct students of Hiroo Michizuki who had been teaching since the 1960s, the Swiss Federation of Yoseikan Budo was born in the early 1970s, notably thanks to Maurice Penseyres, one of the pioneers of martial arts in Switzerland .
Very quickly, the Federation (still through Maurice Penseyres) saw the creation of sections of Yoseikan Budo in Valais, in the canton of Vaud and in Geneva, then in all the rest of Switzerland.
The Swiss Federation also contributed significantly to the technical development of Yoseikan Budo competition weapons around the world (foam-covered weapons) and protective gear, as well as competition regulations.
HIS GOALS
The aims of the Swiss Federation revolve around two main axes:UNIFYING SWISS PRACTITIONERS
