 Still Mochizuki continued to enjoy a warm relationship with Morihei Ueshiba even in his later years.Although perhaps philosophically most influenced by Ueshiba (in addition to his technical studies), Mochizuk's method of teaching and systematizing his art seems to show a larger debt to the teachings of Kanō Jigorō, perhaps due to his own roots in judo.His method of developing kata and use of a scientific approach to explain the finer parts of his art seems to show the imprint of Kano's early teaching method.
