Actually, many more details and points about this subject were covered during this seminar (in July 2016). This video is intended to give only a small taste of it. If it raised your interest, we highly recommend that you attend one of André Bertel's seminars (once Covid 19 is over, of course). Alternatively, book a one-on-one private session with Bertel in Japan.
