In Memoriam

   

These are the Legends who we have lost, even though they are gone we will never forget their contribution to Sport Karate and the path they paved for all of us .

These warriors open doors for all, whether you were a traditional martial artist or an MMA person, or a Sport Karate Warrior.
We will miss your smile and your spirit in the American Sport Karate world.
Rest in Peace, brothers, and sisters until we gather again in the eternal celestial dojo
.
