The wonders of the Nishino Breathing Method are far too rich to be summed up in just a few words. However, I would like to share two aspects that I personally find especially compelling.
The first is the “transformation and discovery of oneself” that comes through continued practice. The quiet internal shifts within the body and the evolving mindset bring new experiences each time. It’s enjoyable, and sometimes even exhilarating—the excitement never fades.
The second is the “absence of barriers.” Regardless of nationality, gender, age, profession, or social standing, everyone can connect through the Nishino Breathing Method in the same space. In fact, people from around the world come to our Headquarters with the wish to train here. They naturally embody “non-verbal communication” that transcends language, which is one of the unique appeals of this method.
As I encountered Certified Instructors actively sharing this practice abroad, I began to feel a strong desire to share the incredible Nishino Breathing Method with the world, overcoming barriers of language and culture. That passion brought about a series of meaningful connections, which ultimately led to the opening of Nishino Camp Zama.
There are so many more appealing aspects of the Nishino Breathing Method—far more than I could ever list. I sincerely hope that through your training at the Camp Zama Class,
you will experience its wonders firsthand and lead an even more fulfilling and joyful life！

The Nishino Method Headquarters
It is my great pleasure to introduce Ms. Izumi Sugimoto, a Certified Senior Instructor at the Nishino Breathing Method Headquarters, to all service members and civilian personnel, as an instructor for a special breathing session at United States Army Garrison Japan / Camp Zama.
The Nishino Breathing Method (commonly known as “Nishino”) is a pioneering technique independently developed by its founder, Kōzō Nishino (1926–2021). It draws on his personal experiences and integrates insights from Western medicine and ballet, as well as Eastern martial arts. Since the establishment of Nishino Juku, the main training center of the Nishino Breathing Method, in 1985, over a million individuals—including many from abroad—have come to train. These practitioners range from beginners to advanced students with over 30 years of experience, including some nearing 100 years of age who continue to practice with great enthusiasm.
What sets Nishino apart from other breathing methods is its simplicity and accessibility. Unlike traditional or ascetic practices that often require years of rigorous training, Nishino enables individuals to begin experiencing and cultivating Ki energy (life force) from the very start.
As the Director and Chief Head Coach of the Nishino Breathing Method Headquarters, I have had the privilege of closely observing Ms. Sugimoto’s deep commitment and passion for mastering this method over the past 20 years.
Her proficiency is marked by a precise understanding and profound knowledge of the practice. She currently teaches at three locations—Shibuya, Yokohama, and Hachioji—and is widely respected for her effective and inspiring teaching style, which has earned her many dedicated students.
Beyond her technical expertise, Ms. Sugimoto’s warm and sincere personality creates a welcoming atmosphere for all. Her gentle demeanor and ever-present smile leave a lasting impression on everyone she meets, both staff and students alike.
We wholeheartedly support the success of the Nishino Breathing Method sessions at Camp Zama under her leadership and look forward to their positive impact on your community.
The school welcomes all residents of U.S.A.-Camp Zama.
Experience a breathing technique that is different from Yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, Meditation, Aikido, Karate, etc.!
More details will be announced here later. Look forward to it!
