Feedback from Participant :

Was fantastic having not only Mr Tachibana giving us insight but to also have Hiroaki Sato helping us out as well when he could.
Always very welcoming and friendly and aid us in any means possible.
We are also grateful for the medical assistance that Mr Tachibana and the NTC provided for one of our gymnasts.
It`s always a privilege to be invited to train here.
