Statement on the subject of Tsunami:

I have trained martial arts for 26 years. For a long time I have trained judo, kyokushin, oyama karate, kickboxing and box, and got to know them very well.

I started my interest in Karate Tsunami, because from my direct observations it was clear that it’s very effective style in a real fight. I had an opportunity to guard discos with Tsunami master, shihan Thaddeus Ryniec 6 dan, and thanks to him eye-witness efficient techniques, Tsunami’s strategy and it’s rules of fights.

Tsunami’s statements hit the spot because of my psychic, directed towards real fight.

Mark Leszczyński trained judo from 1983 in Włocławek (MKS „Zryw” Włocławek) under Roman Stawisiński 4 dan

and passed in succession all examinations on kyu degree in judo.On photo above – Mark Leszczyński’s judo passport.
