Grand Master Masaaki Hatsumi grants the Bujinkan Gold Medal to Shihan Nikolaos Stefanidis.

On the last of one his regular trips to Japan Niko Sensei was as usual accompanied by some students. In the all-round successful trip, all participants took the opportunity to train under the guidance of the Grand Master and other Japanese masters. Many new techniques have been learned and are now being passed on to those back home. In addition to the Bujinkan training there were many opportunities to experience the Japanese culture which made this trip an unforgettable experience for all.

The highlight of the visit, however, was the award of the Bujinkan Gold Medal to Niko Stefanidis. The Grand Master grants this rare award only to his highest graduated Shihan for outstanding achievements.
Students and trainers of the Bujinkan Dojo Duesseldorf congratulate Niko to this extraordinary honour.
